Any updates on chat capabilities of Librem5?

Why the boondongle ie., why the XMPP extensions are used to provide end to end encryption with Chatty if Librem5 is to be a Matrix based communications device? Any updates to this post https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-progress-report-19/ when talking about end to end encryption for Librem5? Thanks in advance.

Keep in mind that the librem5 is an open device. Matrix may be what Purism has chosen to support, but anyone should be able to port or create whatever software they want. I don’t believe there will be anything on the device that will block people from doing just about anything.
