#trixnity — Public Fediverse posts

@daniel @ableijs

There are a bunch of server and even more client implementations. Yes, @element still has a lot of influence, but The @matrix Foundation is doing it's best to get independent and is funded by a really diverse ecosystem.

For example I'm the founder of a company based in #Dresden building on #matrix. Our Open Source client SDK #trixnity is used in the TI-Messenger of every German public health insurance company but one - so possibly millions of users. We also have an Open Source client #Tammy. Yes, we still have the problem, that Element is recommended by a lot of people but the same problem applies to a lot of Open Source ecosystems including #xmpp.

I'm pretty sure the ecosystem would survive without Element despite the fact that Element is doing a good job in pushing the ecosystem in the right direction despite the VC.

It’s a bit frustrating how @element and the @matrix Foundation focus mostly on projects within Element or the Foundation. TWIM social media posts and lives tend to spotlight #Element experiments or Element client rewrites, even when other projects have had similar features for ages.

Take #Tammy, for instance — a powerful, open-source Matrix client released in late 2024, yet it’s never been featured on TWIM live. Or #Trixnity, now the leading #Matrix SDK in Germany’s healthcare sector, with the potential to reach 50+ million users — still barely a mention.

Maybe it's just that these projects come from a team without a marketing engine or strong connections to the Foundation. But they deserve more recognition in my opinion. Especially because some (very large) companies use these open-source projects without giving anything back.
