TravisR | Evelium heavily relies on "a few seconds ago" eventually turning into a real date. | 18:56:10 |
MTRNord | TravisR: hm no that one not but it shouldn't be hard to extend its functions to do so. | 18:56:38 |
TravisR | maybe something like this works better: https://github.com/urish/ngx-moment | 18:57:29 |
MTRNord | TravisR: oh yeah right that one makes more sense to use. | 18:58:11 |
TravisR | I still want to take a bulldozer to the startup process of Evelium though :p | 18:58:55 |
MTRNord | thats why I am taking the smaller Issues for now :) | 18:59:28 |
TravisR | particularly considering one of my sessions never calls /sync | 18:59:42 |
@cadair:cadair.com | Do you folks have a scope or USP in mind for this over other clients? (Just ooi) | 19:00:10 |
TravisR | USP means a couple things to me, which are you referring to here? | 19:00:38 |
@cadair:cadair.com | Unique selling point | 19:00:56 |
TravisR | ah, very different than user support policy :p | 19:01:11 |
@cadair:cadair.com | Lol | 19:01:21 |
@cadair:cadair.com | Tricksy acronyms | 19:01:45 |
TravisR | The scope here so far is just "make a client that I'd use on a daily basis". It's doubling as an experiment and playground though, which is why it's bad in some areas. | 19:02:18 |
| * MTRNord would love to see it replacing riot in my daily use ;P | 19:02:51 |
@cadair:cadair.com | ALL THE CLIENTS | 19:03:26 |
@cadair:cadair.com | 😀😊😆 | 19:03:34 |
TravisR | Eventually the plan will probably shift towards being yet another slack replacement. This would technically be a competitor to Riot, but there'd be no animosity between the projects (hopefully) | 19:03:51 |
TravisR | Although by nature of me writing a ton of bots and some bridges, Evelium will be more focused on the integrations side of things to make it The Last Client You'll Need. | 19:05:58 |
@cadair:cadair.com | Lol | 19:06:12 |
@cadair:cadair.com | Without wanting to fan a flame war, what are the major drawbacks in Riot that you will not want to repeat? | 19:06:40 |
TravisR | In the short term, the layout of the room list. I've never really been a huge fan of every matrix client saying Favourites, People, Rooms, Low Priority (and all tags showing 10 rooms by default). | 19:08:52 |
@cadair:cadair.com | Yeah it's not great. I found that Fractal post about that problem interesting. | 19:09:24 |
@cadair:cadair.com | Do you have something in mind, because I was struggling to envision something I thought would work. | 19:09:53 |
TravisR | Yea, and one of their declined solutions is what Evelium does :p | 19:09:59 |
@cadair:cadair.com | I did try and login to Evelium a while ago but it just borked lol | 19:10:42 |
TravisR | The mockup looks like this: | 19:11:10 |

TravisR | Reality changed though: | 19:11:32 |
