I use the desktop app frequently and it would be great to have a modern, fast(er) app

I believe they will explore using the new matrix-rust-sdk in Element Web further down the line, but it isn't a priority afaik. I'd love them to continue development of Hydrogen tho :p

I don't know what hydrogen is, and none of my search terms return anything useful. Would you mind explaining what it is?

It is a matrix client. It is maintained by element team itself and still in beta. You can read more and view the source code in the Github repo

Like rorschah said, it's a Matrix client, with a focus on being super lightweight and embeddable, having its own SDK. I enjoy it, since all other clients (with exception of iamb ig) use up a lot of memory on my account. Unfortunately, development has been very slow lately, and the client is missing important features like edits, text formatting and so on.

Just tried their demo, and they aren't kidding about it being lightweight. Its super fast!
