Matrix needs a slow-friendly client. (jlai.lu)

Let's not lie to ourselves about it : Matrix is slow.

But, that's fine ! All we need is a client that adapts to it.

For example : when trying to join a room. All clients, Element and otherwise, display a modal. If it takes forever, then you can't do anything in the meantime.

Instead, a slow-friendly app would : add the channel to the channel list, saying ⟳ Joining... | You'll receive a notification once having successfully joined this room.

There, non-blocking.

Same for :

changing notification preferences ;
accepting/declining chat requests ;

Etc.

              For starters, the initial loading is "heating up" forever blocking ;
Then, there's "connection lost" that refreshes the whole page ;
And when I finally reach the homepage and try joining a room, sure I can click another room, but the room I'm trying to join isn't added to the list, so when I click another room, this one being joined disappears and I don't know whether the joining process was interrupted or is still ongoing, and if I redo the join, it's does exactly the same thing, as if it's my first try ;
same thing for changing notification preferences ;
deleting messages is blocking ;
