Signal also has a "note to self" feature but as this is a webpage it is undoubtedly superior to both.

No installation, instant access, have multiple users and keys per browser(profile).

Easily generate one off accounts.

This is a gloriously good idea.

So long as it works...

at this point why not just ssh to a host and use vim?

i mean, you might have better client os support than a matrix client in most cases :) and if you are running a private matrix node you already have sshd to solve all the constant annoyances and upgrades

It could also work but SSH connections time out while I can leave Element running on the background.

I’m also not aware of those constant annoyances and upgrades.

Mosh might help with that

why not just use https://chitchatter.im/ ? matrix is quite intensive for a single user and not very private by default.

How private the chat is is defined by E2E client encryption. Dendrite + Postgres uses ~320MB of my home server memory with negligible CPU and that’s while joined to a few federated rooms.
