Attention Matrix fans! Modular has just announced public availabilty of their personal hosted homeservers! Starting at $10/month for a 5-user server, they’re speedy, they’re reliable, and just like their larger cousins come with a custom-branded Riot Web instance and can be used with your existing domain name. And did I mentions there’s a one month free trial? What are you even waiting for!?
Hi all, We’re incredibly excited to introduce the first ever public beta of RiotX on Android today! RiotX is the codename for an entirely new Matrix Client built by the Riot/Android team, intended to replace Riot/Android in the relatively near future.
Riot Web 1.2 has landed today, featuring all new emoji as we switch from emojione to twemoji.
Riot Web 1.1 is here! The Riot Web devs have been hard at their craft, landing functional and aesthetic upgrades to timeline scrolling, registration, room preview, receiving invitations and image upload.
After the security incident at Matrix.org, we have decided to publish a new Riot.im Android app on the Google Play Store out of an abundance of caution. The fresh app is still called Riot.im but internally it has a different application identifier (im.vector.app). Because of this new id, the new app appears in Google Play as a completely different application. This also prevents an automatic update from the old to the new application.
After February’s release of Riot Web 1.0, it was time to take a step back, take some deep breaths, and to think big thoughts about the future. And then (ultimately) to write the very best of those thoughts on day-glo post-its and stick them to a large glass wall: the roadmap was born.
Hot on the heels of Riot Web 1.0 we’ve released updates to Riot Android and iOS with all new colours and automatic secure key backup for your encryption keys so you’ll never again lose your encrypted messages! Plus, the Riot Website (https://riot.im) has had a complete and beautiful overhaul! Now featuring much more useful and up-to-date information and much less eye-injuring purple.
Gather round people: we’ve got a brand new design, we’ve got dramatically improved encryption UX, we’ve got new login, new settings, new room list and we’ve got dozens and dozens of stability and performance enhancements! That’s right: it fillets, it chops, it dices, slices! We’re out of beta: it’s Riot 1.0.
Dear HipChat and Stride users, You only have a few weeks left to find a new home! But fear not, Riot is here, and moving across to one of our hosted Modular.im chat servers is easy with our dedicated HipChat migration tool.
Over the last month we’ve made massive progress on implementing the new design of Riot which we previewed back in May (the work ended up getting stuck behind all the performance and encryption improvements we’ve been working on).
