element-x-android

I assume this is https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues/4880. Obviously push should be reliable on Android; on Element X iOS it’s rock solid these days. I’ve escalated the issue internally (it wasn’t on my radar, irritatingly).

yup, i'm the CTO, and I don't have notifs enabled on Android and so hadn't checked - I daily-drive iOS. The folks "in charge of ensuring the project's vision and goals are met" are the ones running the Element X team - sorry that I haven't memorised the full feature parity matrix :) Sounds like https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues/1547 is the bug for you to upvote & subscribe to.

hah, sorry - i was trying to find out what build of EX you were on, not Android :D That said, from these symptoms, it really sounds like you are on an older build of the app - and probably using the old sliding sync proxy rather than native sync implementation which has now landed in Synapse. The new builds also fetch in the background (whenever you get a push). Please upgrade, try again, and failing that, file bugs on github.com/element-hq/element-x-android!

No threads support on Element X ? This is the main difference with Signal in terms of functionality... Also, raising the issue on github gave no comment https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues/2831 a few months later. This makes reading conversations with threads painful on mobile with Element X. Can we expect the same bugs to be fixed on Element not-X ?

> the typical reaction from an Element dev is “it works fine for me, make a PR or something”, This is false. We check issues which people file and try to reproduce them, and we certainly don't ask randoms to contribute PRs to fix stuff - we'd much much rather fix them ourselves. Meanwhile, you can see the issue stats at github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/issues and github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues - it's not like we're ignoring or failing to close issues.

The registration flow on matrix.org was a last minute sprint to get something that works there, given we haven't finished the OIDC migration for matrix.org migration. It landed 4 days ago here: https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/pull/3467 and while we tried to QA it on a range of devices & OSes I'm not surprised we missed some. The good news is that it can be easily improved serverside given it's "just" a helper webapp which is doing the registration flow. Sorry you got bitten by this. I'd be very interested if you can compare it with the flow if you specify beta.matrix.org as the homeserver.

Yep, a good example is the element X rewrite They use Jetpack on Android https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-android And SwiftUI on iOS https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-ios But both use the same underlying Matrix Rust SDK https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk So they share the core part of the app between platforms, but everything user facing is native

Multiple accounts also https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/issues/26 and they closed the issue for it in the Element X https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-android/issues/190 A pretty basic functionality which even Messenger supports....

Oh wow congrats to the entire team for this amazing achievement! And the cake under the cherry is… Element X is open-source as well[1][2]! I really can't wait for Beeper[3] to rebuild their fork on top of Element X (it's currently based on Element, formerly called Riot). When this happens it will be an absolute game-changer for the messaging ecosystem. ———— [1] https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-ios [2] https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-android [3] https://www.beeper.com/

Element X is an entirely new client written in Rust + Swift UI/Jetpack Compose (https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-ios and https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-android) which will eventually replace the legacy Element apps (https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios and https://github.com/vector-im/element-android). The features already exist serverside; we're just working on getting them out of beta.
