    I’ve used FluffyChat for 5min and already identified several major UX issues.

    Do some developers actually .. ever use their own applications? I swear that’s a "no" a bunch of times.

    Or they’re so used to the single way their app works they don’t seem to notice how everything else works? idk man. maddening at times. And telling everyone to change defaults ain’t it either.

    Seriously though, messaging apps have been Send-On-Enter by default for .. how long now? Even shift-enter won’t send. lul

    I got way less cranky once I went into settings and fixed it.

    Also tweaked a bunch of other stuff. Seems… usable.

    Any other matrix client suggestions? (That aren’t Element).

    @colinstu If this is just a Matrix server, could you just use a different Matrix client?

    @xoagray of course.

    I’m just airing my grievances bc such a shitty first impression with a client was worth mentioning.

    I see a lot of folks blindly suggest this client and it has failed my sniff test for typical users.

    I have improved it with some settings tweaks but I’d rather just have sane defaults. Still some other clunkiness though. I’ll get around to trying other clients.
