It is so frustrating how some developers simply will not listen to user feedback.

I want to use Fractal but it seems the developers of Fractal don't want me to. The issue is the chat width: it is uncomfortably narrow to use. The supposed reason for this is that it helps readability (or something along those lines). It doesn't. Quite the opposite.

People have been opening issues about this for years. It's not a hard change to make. They just don't want to.

As I said: I want to use Fractal, I'm not just writing this to aimlessly hate on GNOME or FOSS developers. I enjoy using GNOME every day and I would like to also use a Matrix client that fits in with the GNOME Desktop instead of using Element.

Please, if you are developing user-facing software, actually listen to user feedback instead of mindlessly (mis)applying some "UX principles".

#GNOME #Matrix #Linux #FOSS #Fractal #UX

I'm liking the recent 5 rc release of #fractal #matrix client (from flathub-beta). It is no longer crashing at startup like earlier betas on my #librem5.

The chats list is now chronological (the previous vetsions vere very cumbersome and easy to miss unread messages down the list).

I like it supports multiple providers (so personal and work accounts can be handled in same app).

I like it forces a new device verification and I'd like to see this feature in #xmpp apps as well.

If you would like to add your own #fractal to the Flame Reactor, please get in touch! We use flam3 files of the same sort used by Electricsheep. Flames are normalized to 1280x720, max out at 10 xforms, should be focused on a point within 0.25 of origin, and should be scaled between 100 and 1500. These restrictions help ensure compatibility with the rest of the flock.

Okay, so I have been creating fractal art for a long time. I do enter juried conpetitions with it from time to time, and I do sell it from time to time. But I am not here to sell anything, just to share. (Keeping in mind I only freely share art I have already taken off the market, or that I do not care if people steal it- if you do use it elsewhere, please give proper attribution.
Here's an older piece I created years ago:
