Element is launching the world’s first communications platform based on the upcoming Matrix 2.0 release. The result is blazing performance which outperforms the mainstream alternatives - across a decentralised system that enables self-hosting and end-to-end encryption - as well as open standard interoperability to revolutionise real time communication between large organisations.

Built on Matrix 2.0, Element X now rivals the performance of centralised consumer messaging apps, empowering organisations to address the shadow IT issues caused by consumer-grade messaging apps in the workplace.

The new Element communications solution consists:

Element X, our next-gen app with an array of new features

Element Call fully integrated into Element X, for native Matrix-encrypted voice and video

Element Server Suite, our backend hosting solution for powerful admin control and Matrix 2.0 performance

Native OIDC support...something I wish more self hosted apps would prioritize. I shouldn't need to maintain a bunch of user account systems on my own servers.

Does Element X run directly on X now, without electron?

The new release isn't out on F-Droid my friend, last updated 3 months ago as of this comment.

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 2 points 8 hours ago

last F-droid weekly news mentioned problems with their reproducible build process

I had just uninstalled Element X like two weeks ago because I found it to under perform compared to the normal Element client on Android, in addition to lacking some features. I guess I'll give it another shot.

Update: WOW this thing feels lightning fast compared to just a few weeks ago. This is great. Not sure about feature completeness, but based on speed I think I'll migrate Element > Element X again. Great job to the team!

It hans't changed speedwise for me. It has been lightning fast since it's first release

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 1 points 8 hours ago

I guess it depends on the phone, but even if you didn't notice it, it should be more efficient now with less resource usage (battery, ram)

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 8 points 21 hours ago

Space support and multi account support and I'll install it. Fluffychat has many features but still laggy.

I’m still sad they stopped work on dendrite. P2P level decentralization, with E2EE, would be amazing.

These are still great improvements though. I'm hyped that loading seems to be so much faster.

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 1 points 8 hours ago

as I understand they may resume work on it, but they have so few human resources that they nedded to put a full stop to it for now

[-] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 5 points 21 hours ago

They didn't though? Source?

[-] qaz@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

What's the difference between the normal app and element X? Why create a new app?

EDIT: I installed it, but can't verify for some reason.

EDIT: It works now, and it's very fast compared to the other client. It's a shame spaces aren't supported.

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 4 points 21 hours ago

Normy here, I think it's a whole different framework which is faster and more reliable I think. Also the normal app technology outdated so maybe it's difficult to add new features to it.

Still no Spaces support. Even the short list of rooms I've joined are unmanageable when listed flat with no way to identify which Space a #general belongs to
