Element X exited beta in September, and is the preferred app from Element, as per https://element.io/app-for-productivity

It doesn’t have threads or spaces yet; threads are underway currently; spaces will follow.

Dendrite on the other hand has been relegated to an experimental server; we didn’t have bandwidth to do both Synapse and Dendrite so focused on improving Synapse instead, which has steadily become less of a resource hog. Guess we should provide dendrite->synapse migration paths.

Thanks! But still not sure why Element X isn't featured more prominently on matrix.org then.

And surprised to hear Dendrite is now just experimental and not the future anymore. The README and FAQ on GitHub give no indication of that at all, maybe start there?

That looks to be a snafu. It’s featured on https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/ for instance.

Yup, the readme needs to be updated and that’s with me.
