See net-im/py-matrix-synapse, which is well supported. > Is there native FreeBSD client? Matrix is really a protocol, not an application. Thus this question is hard to answer. You can see https://matrix.org/ for details, but the best current client for this protocol is Element. Element runs in the popular browsers, has an Android and iOS client, and can likely be made into a stand alone application assuming devel/electron* works on FreeBSD. However, all you need is www/chromium or www/firefox to actually run a client. So technically, FreeBSD is also well supported but a native client is through electron. It's worth noting that Matrix is federated. Thus it is quite possible for FreeBSD to run it's own matrix server if it decided to. -- Dave Hayes - Consultant - Altadena CA, USA - dave@jetcafe.org >>>> *The opinions expressed above are entirely my own* <<<< Exaggeration is a standard peculiarity of man.
