Element for Android doesn’t support searching in encrypted channels and I think you can’t use E2EE in the browser at all(?), plus basically every other client has even more drawbacks when it comes to E2EE.
My team recently tried RocketChat, but E2EE is obviously an afterthought for that project as it has even more limitations than non-Element Matrix clients (no searching, no pinning, no file upload, no edit, etc.). Plus Jitsi integration seems to be buggy right now (at least on my Windows installation).
What else is out there that’s not on my radar? Is Matrix with Element really the best option right now? Is there no project that puts E2EE above all else?
Edit: Should be self-hostable and (FL)OSS.
Its crazy how Tech Giants burst out chat apps like nothing.
Having a good client based on Conversations with some stuff added would cost nothing.
Not Conversations based, but you might want to keep an eye on: https://prose.org/ (fully open-source and XMPP standard compatible)
Thats cool! A bit too much of these stupid emoji people but looks nice and futureproof?
