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 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.
Fluffychat and Schildichat are really nice on mobile, I use Element on the desktop and if you want to use the same app everywhere I recommend simply using Element.
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.
Hard to beat the Element app or its ‘development build’ the Element X app
