I’d like to try Matrix, but I still don’t know of a good client. I don’t want Electron on my computer, so the official client is out of the question. I tried nheko, but I didn’t like it (though I can install it again if it turns out that there is no better option).
So, can anyone here recommend me a Matrix client? Either terminal-based or GUI, both are fine.
if you like CLI gomuks is the best.
I think OP is asking for a desktop client and cinny is web based?
Syphon Chat https://github.com/syphon-org/syphon/releases/tag/0.2.14
It features
- Spec Compliant Private Read Receipts!
- Device rename from privacy screen
- Device rename randomizer
+1 for Cinny. Worth trying is also https://fluffychat.im
Hey just fyi, I did a lot of work with matrix for like two seasons from server setup, daily use, etc and just keep in mind the product still feels WIP at times.
Edit: element is great! Sorry - Many clients also mentioned already in comments. I just wanted to contribute this because I think while there are many good clients, the client itself wasn’t much of a problem so much as the servers I encountered and federation at times. Definitely pick a good server.
Element can be used with Firefox if you want. Electron isn’t mandatory. If you’re on Linux, my impression is that Fractal is pretty solid.
WeeChat for the CLI with a Matrix plugin works too.
