We’ve decided to rename Riot

Oh, boy... I understand their reasons, but my relatives already annoyed by me for asking them to install Riot and then RiotX on their devices. Now I'll need to explain (which will fail and I'll end up saying "trust me") why they need to switch again!

I would assume renaming the app will be transparent to the user that already has it install. Is that not the case?

The plan is...

Riot iOS will be transparently renamed.

Riot Android will be transparently renamed and upgraded to be the app currently called RiotX.

RiotX will nag users to switch to using the new app (sorry :/)

Riot Desktop will be transparently renamed

Riot Web will continue to work on the existing URLs, but also exist on the new canonical URLs.

Will RiotX be at feature parity by that point? I think calling is getting closer to landing these days?
