I have some friends in an encrypted riot room right now. The olm could use a real good audit, but otherwise it is working right now. Federation is working, bridges are working, voice and video are working, it has Android and iOS clients. The only problem is the encryption doesn't apply to the voice / video or shared files yet, but they have made huge progress this last year from basically nothing so far.



+1. I'm super happy with the Matrix / Riot ("riot" is the client) crypto work over the last year.

It's such a relief to have a modern chat system that's FOSS, federates, and offers a liiiiitle more advanced UX than irc...


the Olm audit is done; we're hoping to publish it week of Nov 14 (alongside iOS & Android support).

Encrypted attachments was PRed this week: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/533 (for the web; mobile will follow shortly)
