Automated builds are works of the devil, right?
Fluffy unfortunately is way behind in terms of features with regard to element.io... It doesn't support voice/video calls for example. I created an issue about that, and they just closed with the criteria that it would break very old phones... I really got disappointed. I do think there's still no gnu/linux neither android matrix client at the same level of features than element.io. Hopefully that'll change, specially on the desktop side, where electron is really a pain, but so far that's not happening...
Voice/Video calls via Element are shit, anyway. You can just use Jitsi for that one which is basically the same, but in a separate app.
Yes, that's right. But it's great that there's a possibility to have different clients. Element is getting better day by day and if you need its features, there's nothing wrong with using it. It's pretty good software, it just doesn't fit my use case of simple mobile communication.
Yeah, I was just saying is not 1:1 features alternative. A pretty good one for just for text chatting though. And I'm still hoping other alternatives catch up in terms of features. I'd like a Qt alternative on the desktop, and also an android alternative from the community, and not element.io...
