| The app is really impressively well done - goes to show how well

| thus how much snappier Element can be :)

| I'm definitely sold and following along with developments

| Does matrix support threads?

| Threading is on the roadmap and should be coming Soonish

| matrix.org's beta server).
|
| Until then, it does support Reply messages similar to Discords.

| Yes, after some more features we gonna make electron app.

| It does lack a lot of basic features though (like reply,
| editing/deleting messages, ...).
|
| Totally understandable, of course, but React apps always tend to
| be fast early on but slow down as more and more features are
| added.

| More substantively: the look of this is _so nice_. My biggest
| complaint with element is UX around cross-signing (though I 'd
| also switch in a heartbeat if someone hacked in voice messages
| somehow). How have you found all that to implement? (Totally fine
| if it's still on a roadmap, I'm just curious)

| EDIT: Upon registration "Password must contain 1 number, 1
| uppercase letters, 1 lowercase letters, 1 non-alpha numeric
| number, 8-16 characters with no space."
|
| Not sure if that's a Matrix limitation or just javascript
| validation, but if it's on your end please don't do that... if
| anything you're enforcing less secure passwords.

| EDIT 2: Hitting reload on https://app.cinny.in/register leads to
| a 404

| As for the other requirements, it's just a matter of enabling
