Element is launching the world’s first communications platform based on the upcoming Matrix 2.0 release. The result is blazing performance which outperforms the mainstream alternatives - across a decentralised system that enables self-hosting and end-to-end encryption - as well as open standard interoperability to revolutionise real time communication between large organisations.
Built on Matrix 2.0, Element X now rivals the performance of centralised consumer messaging apps, empowering organisations to address the shadow IT issues caused by consumer-grade messaging apps in the workplace.
The new Element communications solution consists:
- Element X, our next-gen app with an array of new features
- Element Call fully integrated into Element X, for native Matrix-encrypted voice and video
- Element Server Suite, our backend hosting solution for powerful admin control and Matrix 2.0 performance
I currently use Synapse with bridges to Signal and Discord, and Matrix API. Is Element X a better way to go server-side now?
as I understand, Element X is a client application (for mobile, for now)
The title of the article, and body, say otherwise.
No they don’t, it’s just confusingly worded
Element X is a matrix client that will eventually replace Element for android/ios
Matrix 2.0 is the server suite, some of the changes in matrix 2.0 are necessary for element x to work.
Got it, thank you. So if I’m following now, Matrix 2.0 a new protocol, and the solution to run instead of synapse is Element Server and Element Call?
Yes except element call is a frontend for voip and p2p
Is that still the case?
Though I’m assuming you mean protocols not app names.
I think it’s actually Element X, Element Call and Element Server Suite, and they just did not want to write Element 3 times
No, that’s your reading comprehension. You are conflating Matrix 2.0 and Element X.
I wouldn’t say it that harshly, the title is really not the best
