What I'd really like to do (and the poster you responded to) is to connect your app to my own self-hosted matrix-server.

I'm confused about the downvoting. This is absolutely what a lot of tech people want to do, use the nice client and self-host.

Not the OP, but the beeper client looks better and has native GIF support, among other niceties that more "normal" users would prefer over other clients.
