CLUSTER MESSAGING-INSTANT-MATRIX · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-01-12

Matrix messaging clients

This cluster consists of messaging clients built on the Matrix protocol, spanning desktop, web, GNOME, and an SMS bridge. Dated entries are sparse: a single product in February 2019, two in 2024 (January and July), and three in early 2026 (February, March, April), with no consistent pattern. One member has no source date. Traction leaders, all with zero stars, are schildichat-revenge-appimage, schildichat-desktop-eol, and ourchat-bin, indicating minimal community traction.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
