Oh wow congrats to the entire team for this amazing achievement! And the cake under the cherry is… Element X is open-source as well[1][2]!

I really can't wait for Beeper[3] to rebuild their fork on top of Element X (it's currently based on Element, formerly called Riot). When this happens it will be an absolute game-changer for the messaging ecosystem.

Beeper don't seem to like Sliding Sync, for whatever reason, so I wouldn't hold your breath on it ;)

From what I understand, the Beeper team has invested a lot of time and effort (and code!) into their own "make matrix go vroom" solution which also benefits their complex bridging system, and I imagine it would take some significant engineering time to unravel it for sliding sync.
