I’ve never used Matrix, and I’m overwhelmed at all the options and feature criteria on the project website.
I’d prefer a native app over electron/similar, but ideally would like something that works on most desktop platforms (windows, mac, linux), although I’m open to it if it is truly superior.
I use Fractal. It’s a GNOME app so GTK and native, No idea if it’s cross-platform. I went with it cause I was also looking for something that wasn’t Electron and also wasn’t TUI (since I want to be able to view images normally) and it seemed like the most suitable, fully-featured option.
I use Cinny. It’s pretty fast and has enough features for my needs. Its design is a little reminiscent of Discord.
If you’re like me and want a massive native desktop client (not a packaged web interface), Nheko is a full featured one that runs very quick and adapts well to run in both small or large windows.
Edit: autocorrupt.
I use fluffychat on Android, but I’m not sure if it exists on desktop
I use Fractal on my laptop.
Element X on my mobile, and fluffychat as the backup for any features Element X is missing.
Hydrogen is really cool, but I haven’t used it in a while.
I use Fractal too - just chiming to add that it’s NOT an Electron app although only runs on Linux.
It’s fast and has a well designed UI. I like it.
