The adoption issues are basically that the team who created Matrix (led by me) have ended up burning a lot of energy making the core protocol and implementations work well, and then chasing govtech revenue as a way to fund development: https://element.io/blog/digital-sovereignty-is-built-on-an-o... etc. As a result consumer uptake doesn’t have the focus it should have. We will return to it as soon as we can, however; meanwhile there’s nothing stopping others doing it too.
Thank you for all of your work.

Thanks for the insight, and, as the sibling wrote, all the work.
IMO, Matrix is definitely the best protocol for sending oneself messages in a running thread across all of one's devices.
That is one excellent use case, and it's a real one.
It is also great for the same thing, but with other users, too. I have no idea why its uptake is so slow. Is it the apps?
