Love Matrix/Element and how you deal with criticism.

I've heard (and tried) the new experimental webapp. Is that actually something more than an experiment and will this see further development?

I'm asking because I really enjoyed it but felt like it might have been just a test balloon.

thanks :) we're still experimenting with whether to replace Element Web's engine with matrix-rust-sdk, or move Element Web's UI components over to the Aurora experiment and build an Element X Web. Given how well the Element->Element X transition is going on mobile (c.f. the rest of this thread) you can see why we're considering our options.

So, at the moment it's very much still a test balloon (and we've yet to find anyone to fund us to do an Element X Web anyway).
