#iamb

Does anyone use #iamb as their primary #matrix client? If so, how's that going?

I've been trying to use full GUI clients for a few weeks now and I still greatly dislike them all 😒

I'm trying out #iamb as a terminal client for #matrix and... it works! As in, it actually is serviceable and is able to decrypt past messages and makes sense! https://iamb.chat/ I'm excited.

Es scheint einen halbwegs benutzbaren Client für #Matrix für die Kommandozeile zu geben:
#iamb
iamb.chat/

#TUI #Linux

This "status" was written using , mastodon CLI client. Very cool, this goes well with ( CLI client) - shaken, not stirred.

Can anyone recommend a #commandline or #terminal #MatrixChat program for someone who likes #irssi? #iamb isn't quite doing it for me.

And now I'm trying the #iamb #tui client for #MatrixChat

Sure, #elinks isn't built for the modern web, but it serves a purpose. I use #aerc for email, #senpai for irc, #iamb for matrix chat, #slrn for newsgroups and message boards, #ncspot for Spotify, #mpg123 for local media or online radio, and #rbw for my bitwarden client. I really don't need much else. It's not a machine I rely on for serious tasks, but it's covered most of my daily needs. Best of all, without a GUI, it's blazing fast!

I've been enjoying some time on #gopher and #gemini as well.

@ulyssa I'm trying #iamb the terminal #Matrix client and wanted to say you did a great work with E2E encryption key exchange, it works great !

Being a "vi" addict I've to say I don't really see a chat client requiring or benefitting form the same experience of a text editor but it was a fun idea (I prefer readline mode for line-oriented test, while if I have to write long messages I prefer just delegating that to $EDITOR [being vi in my case] and take back the edited buffer)

@pmidden Then there's the "official" #Element. And the console #iamb.
I look in there myself sometimes and it seems that most clients don't care. Others don't like that the main alternative is written in Rust :rust:. Well the vulnerability is kind of hard to exploit and you can use broken ones. At your own risk, of course.

#iamb so far beats down #gomuks in the contest for being my personal #Matrix TUI client.

I mistyped ":chats" as ":cats" in iamb (the terminal #Matrix client), and now I'm low-key disappointed that #iamb doesn't have a ":cats" command. ;)

only realized just now that iamb.chat/ merged and released that SSO PR a while ago! 😍 #matrix #iamb

I was reading the @thelinuxcast blog when I found this one thelinuxcast.org/posts/An%20Ob where he share why gruvbox is great in his experience, so I gave a second chance to gruvbox, It was fantastic I added #gruvbox to #tut #iamb #neovim #kitty #neomutt #slack #plasma #firefox even the wallpaper. I'm getting crazy.

I can't answer the first, but for the latter, IRC is still wonderful, but if you want encryption, you might look into XMPP or Matrix, if you haven't tried those.

There are some pretty lightweight matrix servers you can self-host, if you're wanting to, and there are some great lightweight GUI clients like #FluffyChat, #NeoChat, and #Nheko, and at least one really good TUI client, #iamb.

But I honestly feel like #XMPP is the under-utilized option.
