Very honest analysis from the #matrix presentation at #fosdem.
Chasing shiny things is fun, but it doesn't help mainstream adoption or core development.
Lots of amazing experimental projects to grab attention/funding and
demo Matrix’s potential and inspire people to build on it:

o P2P Matrix! Low bandwidth! Hydrogen! Dendrite! Gitter!
o 3D calling! Matrix VR Demo! CRDTs! Element Drive! Applications Beyond Chat!

But all this inspirational work stole energy from writing a Killer app.

Dendrite I consider as essential core development.

@ansiwen the learnings from dendrite basically got backported to synapse. (and dendrite is continuing on a best-effort basis, and hopefully will be funded again some day).

@robin Dunno, “killer app” isn’t what is needed for matrix, implies something novel. A compelling, native, workhorse client? Sign me up!

@jezdez @robin the "killer app" being discussed was literally a compelling, native, workhorse client :) no intention to imply it was something novel - just the opposite, in fact.
