I use the desktop app frequently and it would be great to have a modern, fast(er) app

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.
