      Since there seems to be some debate about Telegram and Signal and which to prioritize, I am curious: what about a Matrix app? The messaging, even video, seems nice and crisp. Has there been any discussion on it?

            @totalrando problem is, its unmaintained, ths app developer is still developing fluffychat for other platforms using flutter.

            We have a few options.

            1. Support flutter on Ubuntu Touch, which might happen when we move to Ubuntu 20.04
            2. Fork fluffychat, but that would leave all of the work to the person who forked it.
            3. Find a qt based matrix app like neochat, (there are a few i cant think of rn) and try and contribute to them so that those apps can work on Ubuntu Touch, the problem here though is that they might become incompatible with ubuntu touch when adding features or using newer qt versions than we support.

            Regardless of which option happens, I dont mind so much as long as we continue to have a fantastic working Matrix app on our Ubuntu devices.

              It is no secret that the Mir team is helping with the Wayland support for Flutter and the Wayland support for Lomiri. So there's every reason to expect Flutter apps to work once the Wayland support has been released by both projects.

                @alan_g Oh thats fantastic, I didnt know that Wayland had much if anything to do with flutter, but I'm really glad to hear!

                  Flutter is similar to toolkits like GTK, Qt, SDL and so on. The application code talks to Flutter and Flutter talks to the graphical shell. Flutter has "platforms" for various stacks e.g. Android and iOS. The Flutter "Linux" platform will work on shells that support Wayland or shells that support X11.
