Wow, I was not expecting to see functional P2P Matrix so soon. Props to the folks working on it.

The hard part of selling Matrix to family and friends who currently use WhatsApp is still the user experience. To be fair Riot has improved substantially since I first tried it but there's still some way to go before my Mum will be comfortable using it.

That said, I'm encouraged by the progress I'm seeing! My money's still on Matrix to supersede traditional centralized messaging systems.
