We (https://phnx.im/about) are building something new (https://air.ms). The website doesn’t yet mention self-hosting and federation, but we’d like to get there as well. Beyond that, our focus is on combining good UX with state-of-the-art security. It might not float everybody’s boat, but it should satisfy the list above.

We are in an early phase right now, where we test the product with a limited number of people, hence the invitation-only approach. We intend to drop that towards the end of the year if all goes well.

We helped co-author MLS, and we also contribute to the MIMI IETF working group. We’d like Air to be as standards-based as possible.

We are also curious to learn about specific problems that folks think have not been solved yet in the space.

how will federation compare to Matrix?
