Description: |-
'''Note: Element replaces Riot.im and RiotX, it is based on the RiotX codebase.'''
Element gathers all your conversations and app integrations into one single app.
Built around group chatrooms, Element lets you share messages, images, videos and
files - interact with your tools and access all your different communities under
one roof. One single identity and place for all your teams: no need to switch
accounts, work and chat with people from different organisations in public or
private rooms: from professional projects to school trips, Element will become the
center of all your discussions!
Now with end-to-end encryption! You can view and verify your various devices in
the user settings page.
Features include:
* Instantly share messages, images, videos and files of any kind within groups of any size
* Voice and video 1-1 and conference calling via WebRTC
* End-to-end encryption using [https://matrix.org/git/olm Olm].
* See who’s reading your messages with read receipts
* Communicate with users anywhere in the Matrix.org ecosystem - not just Element users!
* Discover and invite users by email address
* Participate in guest-accessible public rooms
* Highly scalable - supports hundreds of rooms and thousands of users
* Fully synchronised message history across multiple devices and browsers
* Finely configurable notification settings, synchronised over all devices
* Infinite searchable chat history
* Permalinks to messages
* Full message search
* Excellent support for all Android device sizes and orientations
Note that the F-Droid release does not use GCM for notifications - instead it
will keep syncing in the background. If you find that the ongoing background
sync is using too much battery, you can add a delay or change the timeout of the
sync or even disable background sync completely, in the settings page.
For developers:
* Element is a Matrix client - built on the Matrix.org open standard and ecosystem, providing interoperability with all other Matrix compatible apps, servers and integrations
* Trivially extensible via the open Matrix Client-Server API ([https://matrix.org/docs/spec])
* Run your own server! You can use the default matrix.org server or run your own Matrix home server (e.g. [https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/synapse.html])
Coming soon:
* Add your own integrations, bridges and bots!
* Email notifications of missed messages and invites
* Screen sharing
* Login as multiple users at the same time
Discover truly efficient and open collaboration with Element!

<b>Note: Element replaces Riot.im and RiotX, it is based on the RiotX codebase.</b>
Element is a new type of messenger and collaboration app that:
1. Puts you in control to preserve your privacy
2. Lets you communicate with anyone in the Matrix network, and even beyond by integrating with apps such as Slack
3. Protects you from advertising, datamining and walled gardens
4. Secures you through end-to-end encryption, with cross-signing to verify others
Element is completely different from other messaging and collaboration apps because it is decentralised and open source.
Element lets you self-host - or choose a host - so that you have privacy, ownership and control of your data and conversations. It gives you access to an open network; so you’re not just stuck speaking to other Element users only. And it is very secure.
Element is able to do all this because it operates on Matrix - the standard for open, decentralised communication.
Element puts you in control by letting you choose who hosts your conversations. From the Element app, you can choose to host in different ways:
1. Get a free account on the matrix.org public server
2. Self-host your account by running a server on your own hardware
3. Sign up for an account on a custom server by simply subscribing to the Element Matrix Services hosting platform
<b>Why choose Element?</b>
<b>OWN YOUR DATA</b>: You decide where to keep your data and messages. You own it and control it, not some MEGACORP that mines your data or gives access to third parties.
<b>OPEN MESSAGING AND COLLABORATION</b>: You can chat with anyone else in the Matrix network, whether they’re using Element or another Matrix app, and even if they are using a different messaging system of the likes of Slack, IRC or XMPP.
<b>SUPER-SECURE</b>: Real end-to-end encryption (only those in the conversation can decrypt messages), and cross-signing to verify the devices of conversation participants.
<b>COMPLETE COMMUNICATION</b>: Messaging, voice and video calls, file sharing, screen sharing and a whole bunch of integrations, bots and widgets. Build rooms, communities, stay in touch and get things done.
<b>EVERYWHERE YOU ARE</b>: Stay in touch wherever you are with fully synchronised message history across all your devices and on the web at https://element.io/app.
