#fluffychat mit neuem Icon 👍🏻 Nutzt mehr #matrix

#Fluffychat has permissions that are completely undocumented and do not show up in a web search at all. 💧

I'm done with corporations and not returning to Discord but I'm still a bit stunned at some of the problems here.

I think "historical" means chat history, what else can it mean, but...why does NO ONE know that??

My own private Matrix server is running!

I set up Synapse via Docker (alongside Navidrome, OpenCloud, Gitea and others) on my homeserver (my old notebook running Debian stable headless), still using SQLite instead of PostgreSQL for now.

No additional port (8448) needed to open, everything runs cleanly over port 443.

So far everything works: encryption, voice messages, stickers, location, image and video attachments, and joining public rooms (e.g. #linux-de:tchncs.de).

As clients I use Element on PC and FluffyChat on Android.

I realise how much better #matrix and #fluffychat is on the desktop.

Holy moly, that's almost fun!

Hah! I have submitted my proposal for a talk at the matrix conference 2026. This time about #FluffyChat and UX. Hope to see you there :)
#Fluffychat started wigging out today on #iPadOS. The same Notifications began rapidly showing over and over. Uninstalled. #Matrix
Thank you for all the feedback for the new #FluffyChat icon. I guess my biggest key learning was that the old icon has still a lot of fans. So I will investigate in making it possible to ship both icons and let the user switch it in the app settings :)

#fluffychat will get a new app logo with the next release. The old logo was made by a designer from Brazil I lost contact to in 2018 and was licensed under CC. This new one is designed by myself so I can have full rights.

The goal was also "small rebranding" to make FluffyChat look a little bit more mature, aiming for a more serious association without changing the name. While the name in the stores also will evolve to:

"FluffyChat Matrix Messenger".

Let me know what you think :-)
