@torrone , thanks for flagging! just downloaded their flatpak and runs so smooth in Byzantium!
have sometimes an odd bug that when i type the cursor remains in the first position. but the interface and everything fits and moves so well, might consider switching Revolt for Fluffy

The Gnome Chats 0.3.0 changelog:
And a new blog post about Fractal next:
https://blogs.gnome.org/jsparber/2021/05/07/the-internals-of-fractal-next/
We are also making continual improvements in support for the Matrix chat protocol in Chatty and it already works well for unencrypted rooms. Supporting encryption in Matrix is a priority for us and we currently have initial support for it in Chatty as well.

Does anyone use Matrix with Chatty / Gnome Chats? Is it working now with encryption or is it still in development?

I do. It can be a little wonky, and you have to manually verify by text in another client first, but it works pretty well overall now in 0.4.0
I actually use Chatty on my pinephones as well as my pinebook pro. With encrypted rooms!

Please clarify, I don’t understand (that’s definetly my fault)
So another client like say Element I can go into the settings -> Security & Privacy -> Show All Sessions
In there I can see Chatty with a red badge meaning not verified. So some clients will allow verification (sharing security keys) through things like Emoji matches or scanning a QR code (mobile). Chatty doesn’t have that, but instead you can manually verify by text where it shows you the DeviceID, which you can verify is the same as Chatty inside the Preferences -> click on your matrix account -> Advanced Information.

Anyone here who tried using the Matrix support in Chats (chatty), in the current version 0.7.0rc1 that Mohammed writes about?
I’ve tried it, though I don’t really use Matrix much in normal life. I was able to log in and chat with another user. I wasn’t able to sync encryption keys so I can’t see previous chat history. But like I say, I’m not a heavy matrix user so maybe I am missing something.

Okay, I am trying now, seems to hang forever after I entered User ID and Password.
What format does it want for the User ID? My attempt is on the form @username:mydomain.se – is that the form chatty wants?
Here is what it looks like where it seems to get stuck:
Yes, that’s the format I used as well. Is it possible it just takes a while to sync and you have a lot more rooms? I only have two rooms and I use matrix.org for my homeserver. I remember it spinning for a bit when I first logged in but I was thinking it was only a few seconds.
