I use the desktop app frequently and it would be great to have a modern, fast(er) app
I believe they will explore using the new matrix-rust-sdk in Element Web further down the line, but it isn’t a priority afaik. I’d love them to continue development of Hydrogen tho :p
In element desktop under lab i think you can already activate the new Rust encryption (which I would not really recommend though)
I don’t know what hydrogen is, and none of my search terms return anything useful. Would you mind explaining what it is?
It is a matrix client. It is maintained by element team itself and still in beta. You can read more and view the source code in the Github repo
Like rorschah said, it’s a Matrix client, with a focus on being super lightweight and embeddable, having its own SDK. I enjoy it, since all other clients (with exception of iamb ig) use up a lot of memory on my account. Unfortunately, development has been very slow lately, and the client is missing important features like edits, text formatting and so on.
