Fractal 13, the latest release candidate of the Matrix messaging app tailored for GNOME, is now available for testing. This iteration focuses on enhancing collaboration among large groups, incorporating features such as end-to-end encryption, richly formatted messaging, and multimedia support. Designed with a user-friendly interface adaptable to various screen sizes, Fractal 13 allows for private conversations, direct image viewing within chat windows, and real-time indicators showing who has read messages or is typing.
The app, developed in Rust, aims to boost productivity within the open-source community and collective projects. Users can easily discover topic-specific rooms or engage in private chats while relying on the platform's robust security features. It also includes tools for sending formatted messages, files, and locations, and supports multimedia playback within conversations.
Fractal 13 enhances user engagement through features that allow replies to specific messages, emoji reactions, and message editing or removal. The transparency offered by read receipts and typing indicators fosters a communicative environment, essential for effective group interactions.
An exciting addition is the support for Single-Sign On (SSO), enabling users to log into multiple accounts at once, which streamlines workflows and minimizes disruptions, particularly for professionals juggling various projects or roles.
As autumn settles in, marking a transition for developers, the team has been focused on fine-tuning the app after the beta release, primarily addressing bugs related to the new audio player and refining the codebase. Fractal 13 represents a significant step forward in enhancing communication tools for users, making it a valuable asset for both casual and professional use
