Matrix/Riot

I’ve been hearing a lot about this lately. Sounds interesting and something to keep my eye on.

They say…

  • Matrix is an open standard for interoperable, decentralised, real-time communication over IP.
  • The simplest way to sign up and try Matrix out is to use Riot, a web-based client.

What a dumb name…Riot. The Riot client is going to be renamed matrix! Sounds like a good enough reason to wait to use it. I know that’s a dumb reason.

I did actually create a user/account. And lurked a while in the Matrix group. It was kind of uneventful. I guess that’s not a bad thing,

However I can’t seem to logon using my preferred browser Firefox. Only a third of he screen shows and it is blurred! I have no problem using Opera or Google Chrome.
