This one is clearly made to look like slack, which is great I need to try this out. Just wish someone would make one that looks like disc. And then matrix needs screensharing support.

I'm pretty sure its supposed to be Discord. Discords tagline used to start with "Imagine a place where X" which is why theyre saying "Imagine a matrix client" lol

TBH both disc and slack have their downsides, disc more so, so I'm fine if they just take the best of all worlds.

But yeah, screensharing is the deciding factor for me. As much as all my friends hate discord, we use screensharing all the time (it's just a bit jankier getting it working on Linux).

Ive been using Jitsi for screen sharing and calls :p

Yeah, I saw that element is using jitsi under the hood for its screensharing. If that makes for a seamless user experience, that's great. It's been like 10 years since I last tried Jitsi, but it was not smooth.

Its honestly really good now in my experience. Honestly wish people used it instead of Zoom.

Ooo I just found out element added support for drop-in/drop-out voice and video rooms. That's the real killer feature they've been lacking I think. Will have to try it out.
