    New desktop isn’t electron, and of course it’ll need your email, it’s a chat app.

    But the real cool thing is that it’s a matrix client (that federates!) and all the bridges are open source, the company maintains most all of the bridges to corporate chat platforms.

      I’ve been using it for over 6 months. There’s a web app too if you don’t use the self hosted button. Absolutely saves me from doom scrolling.

      I don’t see how them two things are related, my email has nothing to do with my chattings. it also doesn’t explain why it’s needed as it supposedly acts like a aggregator for the different protocols. upon signing up with a throwaway, it reveals itself as a matrix client and all them chat bridges are hosted by them. I have no idea as to their reputability, credibility, and longevity and at this point this is way too many things I need to get to the bottom of in order to consider it, so I’ll check back in a year or two and see how it’s holding up.
