| Been watching Matrix for a long while now, and just now I see this:
> "innovative bit of Matrix is that it's a replicated database of objects (events), similar to Git, but designed for syncing conversation history around in realtime." and think, this is basically blockchain workings right? IF we had only created a client that worked on iOs only, could store and send chat coins and log votes for each group, this could be presented in press releases as a new blockchain chat and get all kinds of posts and maybe money thrown at it. kidding aside - I have more faith in Matrix moving forward than any similar projects at the moment, and I don't see that changing soon - so I hope more can be done to polish clients and make sure bridges and other features are well done. As soon as moderation tools are enhanced I'll begin to use it on several sites. I'd love to see some bubbles of related issues that need love and have some people put some estimated time and money on each bubble - maybe we could crowdsource some code for some bubbles and money for others or something - I feel there are many groups of people who want / need different things in order to increase adoption, and I feel for the folks coders / maintainers who are trying to extinguish all the fires at once. I put a few hundred into bug bounty like thing to get some features added to rocket chat so we could use it.. then found the amount of other bugs left un worked at the time meant it was not feasible for our usage any time soon. Hopefully with the funding and such of Matrix it can evolve on multiple levels at once and become a solid framework with many clients and ux options. A bridge for COI and delta chat or any others. I'd love a client that bridges with email address and has one click to keybase auth or pgp and such - and puts things into a timeline / fbook feed like view.. not for me, but for others.. group friends, display on phones and web.. seems these things could be close to reality. |
