On: A Year Using Matrix and Riot

[young_unixer]

I Tried to use Riot.im with a friend of mine, who's also a hacker and we couldn't figure out how to create a room for us to chat. We're probably too dumb for this.

Bottom left; click the little person icon. A modal pops up asking you to enter the user ID of the person you wish to chat with.

There are valid complaints to be made about Riot's UI, but I really don't think that's one of them.

We did that many times, but nothing appeared on each other's screen, it seemed as if the IDs were being sent to /dev/null.
