State messages like "x has entered/left the room" or "x has changed his/her avatar" reveal identities present in a room, which we wanted to keep private. That information is sent by the server, but not displayed by the client. Quite probably there might be a better solution for this, but we looked for a (quick) solution that worked for us, since the combination client-server is supposed to be a closed ecosystem. We were (and are still) in the middle of a pandemic, and just wanted to get it to work in an acceptable manner.

You probably will be able to rip the app appart and get the keys, but why would you, we are just a little primary school. It's up to real experts to find an elegant solution for all of this, if there is demand for it on a bigger scale.

We've done some small changes in the last months which I didn't merge yet, but we are indeed stuck in 0.26.1 - I was working on an update to 0.41 but got stuck with some navigation stack errors and notifications not working. Hopefully the interview will help us find someone more savvy than me who can tackle this - I guess someone who knows flutter could solve those problems in a matter of minutes.

And yes, synapse is being updated properly by someone who knows what he is doing :-)
