Thank you for bring this (conduit) up!!! Nothing beats a binary and toml/json/yml file deployment!!!

And it is what great about the matrix.org vs other open source app such as Telegram/Signal/Wire.... The protocol was designed to be open. If you don't like the client, write one, if you don't like the server, write another. Just follow the API specification. Being it is REST it is much easier to decipher than IMAP/SMTP. And port 443 works every where! Even on proxied Internet!!

The specification is so complex that keeping up with it is a full-time job - which benefits the Element Corporation, which profits from selling their complex server and client and also makes the specification. Just have a glance at the concept of room versions.

room versions are just a much-needed way of versioning the protocol, so we can make breaking changes without being trapped with backwards compatibility problems - no different to a fileformat including a version number. it’s one of the best bits of Matrix, imo, albeit sorely misunderstood (it seems).

Conduit is a bit slow to update over the years, and a few forks have improved on it quite a bit; continuwuity being chief among them at the moment.

Yeah I hate the name too.

Hey, one of the Continuwuity team here - the name was a bit of a placeholder we picked as we were setting up the project, and we are open to changing it if we find something that fits the project and is a step up. Please join our Matrix rooms if you have a suggestion or more in-depth feedback, or want to participate in any polls we might run.
