#sdaps_web seems to be "ready" for #python #webframework #django 2.1 . And this is just the start! We want to do #testing and create a really nice #userinterface https://github.com/sdaps/sdaps_web If you're interested, join us in the #irc channel that's also bridged to #matrix https://sdaps.org

In the last #blog #post of "This Week in Matrix" they refer to the creation of a #openscience #matrix #chatroom (#open-science:matrix.vgorcum.com) https://matrix.org/blog/2018/09/28/this-week-in-matrix-2018-09-28/

@danyspin97 @ink_slinger I wouldn't make that recommendation until we actually see that @Purism messaging app, and whether the UX is suitable for mere mortals ;) But this is good news, as is the work the #GNOME is doing on their #Fractal client(s) for #Matrix (curious as to why they picked a Matrix over XMPP for a native app, since the point-of-difference of Matrix is being more web-native).

@KevinMarks @bhaugen @cwebber
chat.indieweb.org integrates with #IRC, #Matrix, or #Slack. Intriguing. Why Slack, and why not #XMPP (#MUC)?

> In the end #Matrix still seems the most promising one to me, due to the presence of both a public community and a IM.

#Matrix is client/server, so quite a different beast from #Tox / #Ring, which are serverless. Matrix seems like a good candidate for replacing both #IRC and #Slack, given that it's federated by default (unlike IRC which needs a bunch of extra stuff to support federation), and it's an open protocol (unlike Slack which is a #DataFarm).

So I tried a #Riot / #Matrix room (on a different server than riot.im, in an attempt to be a good federated citizen) with encryption, and that was pretty terrible, so I tried one without, and it doesn't seem able to present a fully consistent view to people who've joined or are trying to join. Is this the current state of the platform (with encryption turned off), or am I experiencing weird rare problems that are unlikely to keep happening a lot?

One of the challenges for federating #FreeCode chat apps is the risk that doing so punches security holes in the privacy protecting #E2E #encryption they use. This is one of the reasons we have #XMPP competing with #Matrix, and both competing with walled gardens like #Wire and #Signal, even though both of these have liberated the code for both their clients and servers.

@tindall let them try #matrix. It has quit a few native and web based clients.

> the riot.im client has a good UI for non techies.

Yeah, people say that. But I've used #Riot, and I don't agree. It's certainly more user-friendly than most (all?) IRC clients as a #Slack-a-like, but pitching it as a replacement for Skype / FB Messenger is like pitching Mumble for that purpose. Just no. #Matrix, like #XMPP, might be a great protocol, but consistently smooth #UX is not there yet.

@Maltimore
was mit aus der Endnutzerperspektive bei #matrix besser gefaellt:

Eine einfache Moeglichkeit neue interessante Raeume zu entdecken.

Raeume koennen leicht auf einen anderen Server umziehen bzw. leicht von mehreren Adressen aus erreicht werden.
@kuketzblog @nipos

@thibaultamartin @rysiek @sir @Purism have you tried #Wire? Much simple to understand than #Matrix, and with a smoother UI. Plus not tied to BDFL who is antithetical to software freedom (eg Wire actually want their app in F-Droid). I'm @strypey on Wire too if you want to test it.

Our #hackerspace now has a functioning #matrix server set up, with #matterbridge to a #jabber #muc. For now, it works really well. https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge
