The visual and feel | is just amazing - and even basic E2EE seems to be available. | | I'm definitely sold and following along with developments | 0xC0ncord wrote: | Looks very nice! I will have to try it. Do you have plans to | announce it to matrix.org's This Week In Matrix (TWIM) updates? | If you're looking for more testing and feedback I'm sure you'll | get some from the visibility there. | stryan wrote: | It's already been posted to the TWIM room so it should be in | it. | hutrdvnj wrote: | Does matrix support threads? | stryan wrote: | Threading is on the roadmap and should be coming Soonish | (prototypes of it are already implemented in Dendrite, | matrix.org's beta server). | | Until then, it does support Reply messages similar to Discords. | Avi0n wrote: | Wow, this is really well done. I love how fast it is. Any plans | on making an electron desktop app? I would definitely use it. | kfiven wrote: | Yes, after some more features we gonna make electron app. | adkadskhj wrote: | Heck if it's a general purpose web app - ie not only Chrome, | maybe give Tauri[1] a try? | | [1]: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri | the_duke wrote: | First impression: very nice look and feel, definitely prettier | and much snappier than Element. | | It does lack a lot of basic features though (like reply, | editing/deleting messages, ...). | | Totally understandable, of course, but React apps always tend to | be fast early on but slow down as more and more features are | added. | kixiQu wrote: | This is the smallest thing in the world but: in the screenshot on | cinny.in: that's my chicken illustration! :D (Not my chicken, she | belongs to https://www.instagram.com/chooks_in_town/ so I also | put the illo on IG https://www.instagram.com/p/CRQETITJncO/) | | More substantively: the look of this is _so nice_. My biggest | complaint with element is UX around cross-signing (though I 'd | also switch in a heartbeat if someone hacked in voice messages | somehow). How have you found all that to implement? (Totally fine | if it's still on a roadmap, I'm just curious) | cuboid wrote: | I believe it would please you to know Voice Messages are | currently front in line to be implemented next. | airstrike wrote: | Link to the actual app https://app.cinny.in/login | | __________ | | EDIT: Upon registration "Password must contain 1 number, 1 | uppercase letters, 1 lowercase letters, 1 non-alpha numeric | number, 8-16 characters with no space." | | Not sure if that's a Matrix limitation or just javascript | validation, but if it's on your end please don't do that... if | anything you're enforcing less secure passwords. | | __________ | | EDIT 2: Hitting reload on https://app.cinny.in/register leads to | a 404 | usbfingers wrote: | Note, some of that is a requirement by the Matrix protocol and | is out of clients control. It's ultimately up to the server to | configure different password requirements. | | https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#notes-on-p... | | > Clients SHOULD enforce that the password provided is suitably | complex. The password SHOULD include a lower-case letter, an | upper-case letter, a number and a symbol and be at a minimum 8 | characters in length. Servers MAY reject weak passwords with an | error code M_WEAK_PASSWORD. | Y_Y wrote: | Why is this still a thing? I think all tech people hate it, | and all non-tech people use "Password1". | wrycoder wrote: | Sod42Off! | the-dude wrote: | Login link doesn't work either. | prophesi wrote: | The max limit of 16 characters is odd. | | As for the other requirements, it's just a matter of enabling | various options in your password manager's generator. And if | you're not using a password manager, it's very probable you're | using/reusing insecure passwords. | kfiven wrote: | There are some issues related to /login and /register, but | https://app.cinny.in should work fine. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-07-28 19:00 UTC)
