Why does the desktop client use Electron? Why is the desktop client even worse than what Discord has? Why am I required to register to do any basic interaction even in rooms that allow guests? Again, WHY DO I HAVE TO REGISTER?!

Calm down user. You'll become psychotic by getting angrier in front of your computer.
Go outside.
Meet people.

Why do you expect it to work without a user account? And there are non-Electron desktop clients for Matrix available.
Jack Perry
Because you can use a webdev to develop it cheaply.
Discord had a lot of optimization, they even use rust for the critical parts.
Who knows.
Who knows.

Volt maybe. Not sure if already in or in the works: volt-app.com

Matrix is deprecated by the Grid.

Hijacking thread.
Is there a good guide on installing your own Matrix server (Synapse)?

Can you guys just accept that there is something like that, jesus fucking christ.

Why should we accept crappy, low-effort, low-quality solutions like this?
The startupers can masturbate all they want, it won't turn their yet-another-bloated-trash-that-answer-a-problem-that-does-not-exist solution any better.
I'd take native go-based program over this shit any day

Maybe start contributing to gomuks then. github.com

because riot is the featureful, fast to develop client.
There are plenty other clients that are made with C++ etc, and lighter.

wow registering an account for a service
unheard of

what's the point

>Why do you expect it to work without a user account
Because IRC doesn't require an account in the majority of cases. And even when it does it's up to the channel operators and not the backend. Anonimity and no registration should be the default state for all means of communication. Matrix isn't doing this. Matrix doesn't want information to be free.
>And there are non-Electron desktop clients for Matrix available.
Please suggest the most performant. Last time I tried Quaternion it was abhorrent.
>deprecated
oh great
It's bloat of personal data. Not only do I have to expose my email, even if I created a separate email just for this service it would still link back to the me in a variety of ways.
Henry Clark
Matrix the protocol doesn't require an email address in any way. Neither does the matrix.org homeserver.
Anonymity and no registration works great for shitposting on Jow Forums but isn't that great when you want to talk to people you know.

Once you try to write a cross-platform desktop client, you will understand why people use Electron.
>Qt
C++... trash language but probably the best choice if you have the resources
>Pyqt
Python is slow and has shitty typing support, but not bad for small tools
>JavaFX
Not a bad choice desu but looks like shit without some effort
The rest are either not usable in production or simply suck.
