I would really like to see Spaces added if possible. This app is quite good and would be excellent to recommend seriously as a Discord alternative, with the mainline Element client being substantially slower and clunkier. Spaces support would deliver that.
14well, closer at least, given voice calls in a group is still proposal stage: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3401

What's with the obsession with the letter X?
11It's cutting edge, on the verge, or at the forefront of something.
X is used a lot in Prototyping and Experimental designations or higher end products (see Aerospace and chipset architecture). In a more "Layman's" Sense I would also assume that people associate it with being "Extreme/X-treme"

Have we lost the knowledge how to make native software? Do we really have to use bloated, memory hogging "web apps" disguised as executables? Is cross-platform really worth the performance impact?
-2Open source apps have a very limited amount of resources that would be better spent on bugs and features rather than maintaining a dozen native apps with feature parity
4Where did you read that this is a web app? To me it seems like they use kotlin/swift on the respective systems. This is as native as it gets.
4I'm dumb and wrong. It uses Rust, SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose.
I have a gold medal at jumping to conclusions.
