hey - we are considering moving to riot/modular as well from Hipchat. We love that you guys use Matrix.org underneath and that its opensource.

There were a couple of irritating UI bugs around the editor that we were waiting for. this is good to hear and thanks for your work!

P.S. also the android app .... kind of needs a lot of work, but im hopeful




we're making good progress in a ground-up rewrite of the android app in kotlin with realm and Rx (https://github.com/vector-im/riot-android-redesign-PoC/tree/...), which is an unrecognisable improvement.

meanwhile on riot-web we're doing our best to track down the remaining Slate-related composer glitches!


Good to know. I may have added a comment to one myself - especially around copy pasting code in the editor.

Also, just so you know... there's a lot of confusion around riot with your multiple names:

vector.im - name of the company. No social media presence.

riot.im - name of the webapp. This is your twitter handle.

modular.im - name of your hosted product where you are actually making money. For a mission critical product, you dont even have a contact-us email. You also dont have a list of features - you are assuming people who come here are super aware of Matrix features. Even this is so much better - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-UlA4-tslROBDS9IqHal...

matrix.org - half the UI source code is here (other the API reference implementation which is the only thing that a standards organization should have). So where do we file bugs ? on vector-im/riot-web (!!) or matrix.org .

As of Aug 2018, the only skin that exists is vector-im/riot-web; it and matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk should effectively be considered as a single project (for instance, matrix-react-sdk bugs are currently filed against vector-im/riot-web rather than this project).

Its super weird and confusing. Riot is a cool name (and my personal favorite)... but use anything you want. Just have one name - Gitlab does this so very well (with both its open source product and hosted product)
