Indescribably exciting to have just been the first ever(!) person to enter Matrix in VR, thanks to @thirdroomio@twitter.com's first cut of WebXR support. Add in freeform scripting via our WebSG API and built-in direct-manipulation scene editor, and the possibilities will be infinite!! ???

@kkarhan @blender this is similar to saying that the Web should have stuck to static HTML, that JS and webapps are a disaster and that apps should be left to the desktop. You are missing the point that Matrix is & always has been a communication protocol; explicitly not just for chat. We don’t want to live in a world where Facebook owns communication in spatial apps like they have with WhatsApp, and that is why a tiny % of Element’s $ goes to supporting Third Room.

Last TWIM of the year! Read about end-to-end encryption in NeoChat, a new Conduit release, moderation using machine learning, and more!

New app layout on mobile coming soon! ?

What to expect?

1️⃣ Configurable homepage; show/hide recents, favourites & unread
2️⃣ We’re going tabless; an easier to use app with more space for messages
3️⃣ Making primary & secondary actions reachable; while keeping scalability in mind

Lots of fun happening on matrix-wysiwyg - the world's first(?) native cross-platform WYSIWYG editor, written in #rust (with platform-specific bindings on top) for all your Matrix message composing needs. Here's the test jig for autogenerating test cases (we're still debugging :D)

Last week we've released Synapse 1.66! Come read about the removal of email verification delegation, improvements to the admin API, compression for federation traffic and much more on our blog!

Here's a quick teaser of the world's first ever native-Matrix @element_hq@twitter.com video room, powered by matryoshka-embedded Element Call. It loads instantly thanks to caching Call in a hidden iframe. Huge kudos to Robin for putting it together; coming soon to an Element near you...

A Matrix @onbeeper@twitter.com beeper (yes), a new UI for Beeper Desktop and for Element iOS, and a tutorial on how to create your first Matrix bot in javascript? That, and much more happened this week in Matrix!
