huh. on Element X iOS, the notif support is genuinely great - you get avatars and groupings and reliable notifs on e2ee msgs. the only thing is missing is quick-reply (which has been blocked behind full multi-process support in matrix-rust-sdk, hopefully coming soon).
I'd assumed that Element X Android would be the same; if not, it's an omission and will get fixed.
Aren't you Element's CTO? I feel like you shouldn't need to make assumptions into how the app works, you should just know (even if you're not personally daily driving it). If not you, is anyone in charge of ensuring that the project's vision and goals are met?
I think the newer version of matrix handles cleaning that table better, but I'd need to login a check, it's been a while.
Given that the DB gets so big I had to bit the bullet and move from spinning HDs to SSDs on my latest install. Make a big difference at the beginning of course, the DB had not ballooned yet.
