I don't know, I think I would understand you better if I had a list of specific problems that make this software unsuitable for release. I've been using it daily for months as my primary Matrix client on my desktop computer, and the only issues I found are occasional disconnects (and I'm not even sure that it's not a server problem). > There are more problems with purple-matrix then that. For instance > from the description of the package itself: > The following are not yet supported: > * Creating new rooms (and one-to-one chats) > * Joining existing rooms by alias instead of room_id Those are clear missing features, and yes, you need a different client to join a room. For some people that's probably an essential feature, that's why it's clearly indicated in the package description. In my case I only follow a limited number of rooms, I don't need to join or create new ones, so this keeps me from having yet another chat client open all the time. > Like I said, if you think that you can support this version for the > next 3 years, I have no problem with it.

If this goes to stretch then it will be a simple Matrix client with few dependencies and limited functionality, but otherwise stable enough for everyday use. Maybe I'm missing something, what is the scenario that you are worried about? Berto
