something i know might help a bunch of folks here: https://github.com/element-hq/element-meta/issues/1090#issuecomment-2010330567

<ryzokuken>
plus the latest version of element nightly put in (atleast a) minor redesign so it looks and feels better too

Just a quick reminder for anyone interested in speaking at the standards session at Future Frontend the day after the Helsinki TC39, that if you haven't already, please get in touch with me with your proposed topic so I can pass them along to the conference organizers. I'll be speaking with them again next week.
17:15
<bakkot>
one week to get topics on the agenda
17:15
<bakkot>
it is extremely light so far
17:18
<Michael Ficarra>
one week to get stage advancement topics on the agenda
17:19
<Michael Ficarra>
other topics can still be added any time up until the agenda approval at the start of the meeting

Does esmeta not report line/column information for errors? It's awfully hard to determine where the error is located in such a large file.
18:37
<bakkot>
it reports the algorithm and step number, I believe
18:37
<bakkot>
but it can be confusing sometimes
18:37
<bakkot>
also sometimes it has bugs
18:37
<bakkot>
feel free to ignore it for now if you'd like and the editors can look into it

I gave up and tried Cinny app instead, and it’s pretty good
19:00
<ryzokuken>
Tauri based!? I had missed it somehow, will try it out soon, thanks!
19:04
<nicolo-ribaudo>
I wish it had a screenshot in the readme
19:06
<nicolo-ribaudo>
Ohh it's nice
19:07
<nicolo-ribaudo>
And it also has a web client https://app.cinny.in/
19:07
<nicolo-ribaudo>
It's very nice
20:08
<ljharb>
trying it now; so many things are still marked unread :-/ seems nice to far tho
20:38
<Michael Ficarra>
cool technology we've got here
20:49
<ljharb>
for that you have to open your session on element and find sessions in settings, and start verification, so you can sync your keys to the new client
20:49
<ljharb>
see, isn't this so much more user-friendly than irc?
20:56
<Anthony Bullard>
Why didn’t we just use an open source normal chat client like Mattermost? I wasn’t here when the move to Matrix happened. I really want to like Matrix, but all of the clients have many problems.

Matrix’s key syncing is crap
21:33
<ljharb>
it's very important we all encrypt our super secret spec discussions
21:33
<ljharb>
wouldn't want anyone hacking us and finding out about proposals
21:35
<bakkot>
I have literally never heard of mattermost so probably that's why
21:37

Oh it’s pretty nice. Just a single Go binary and a Postgres database and you are good to go. Web, Desktop, and Mobile apps
21:37
<bakkot>
oh we'd have to host it ourselves?
21:37
<bakkot>
presumably that's why then
21:37
<Anthony Bullard>

They have cloud hosted
21:38
<Anthony Bullard>
Figured ownership might be a benefit to us, but they have options. Might even be open to a discount for an open source / standards org (I don’t speak for them in anyway)
21:38
<bakkot>
looks like it's $10/user/month? that's also not gonna be feasible
21:39
<Anthony Bullard>
That’s commercial rate, but hey it’s just another option to consider exploring

aside from the stuck notifications (which has largely improved), what other problems have you observed with Element?
21:42
<bakkot>
the "unable to decrypt message" thing Michael shows above has happened to me a few times also
21:44

I've run into this as well, but can't remember if it happened to me except on new clients/logins

I get crazy sync issues. Sometimes entire parts of the channel history disappear completely

which client are you using?
21:45
<Chris de Almeida>
web, desktop, os, etc
21:45
<Anthony Bullard>
Case in point
21:45
<Chris de Almeida>
whoa
21:45
<Anthony Bullard>
Mobile is the worst, and the one I use the most
21:46
<Anthony Bullard>
I don’t know if I’ll ever see that convo I had with @bakkot again
21:46
<Chris de Almeida>
well I haven't seen that, but WOMM is a scarcely a comfort
21:48
<Anthony Bullard>
I’d show you my new state, but the mobile app won’t let me give it access to the new screenshot
21:49
<Anthony Bullard>
Not the biggest deal, but definitely is concerning if this happens a lot. I take solace in thinking that it’s probably eventually consistent
21:49
<Anthony Bullard>
And all of the conversations are actually persisted
