Please don't use Slack for FOSS projects

OK, I'm rather impressed. I was expecting this to be, shall we say, at usual FOSS levels of user-friendliness for non-technical users, but the new client (Vector) is very easy to get started with.

I'd suggest making it clear that Vector is by far the most user-friendly way to use Matrix if you want to attract non-technical users to the service, but otherwise, well done.

Thanks! Vector (http://vector.im) has had a lot of UI/UX focus - but the nice thing with Matrix is that it enables you to pick the type of app/client that you like - and whether that's a web client like Vector, a terminal client like weechat (http://matrix.org/blog/project/weechat-plugin/), a mobile app, or even a different service like IRC - that's entirely up to you!

Check out http://matrix.org/blog/try-matrix-now/ for a list of clients/apps that support Matrix!
