Does anyone know if there are any plans for a web version of element x?
Does anyone know if there are any plans for a web version of element x?
I use the desktop app frequently and it would be great to have a modern, fast(er) app
You're viewing a single thread.
I believe they will explore using the new matrix-rust-sdk in Element Web further down the line, but it isn't a priority afaik. I'd love them to continue development of Hydrogen tho :p
I don't know what hydrogen is, and none of my search terms return anything useful. Would you mind explaining what it is?
It is a matrix client. It is maintained by element team itself and still in beta. You can read more and view the source code in the Github repo
Just tried their demo, and they aren't kidding about it being lightweight. Its super fast!
Like rorschah said, it's a Matrix client, with a focus on being super lightweight and embeddable, having its own SDK. I enjoy it, since all other clients (with exception of iamb ig) use up a lot of memory on my account. Unfortunately, development has been very slow lately, and the client is missing important features like edits, text formatting and so on.
In element desktop under lab i think you can already activate the new Rust encryption (which I would not really recommend though)
Yeah that's vodozemac, which is a Matrix crypto SDK written in Rust, and is part of the broader Rust SDK they are developing (which handles nesrly everything necessary for client development, even some opinionated UI stuff).
