Discord is on a quest to become a better messaging app

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I don't understand why Revolt decided to reinvent the wheel and not use Matrix. They could've been a great alternative server and/or UI.
Why don't you ask the Matrix team why they decided to re-invent XMPP and add a stupid HTTP API?

Both XMPP and Matrix can be used for real-time messaging, but they are very different unerneath.
Because they didn't reinvent xmpp, they reinvented Google Wave.

I take it you weren't aware that Google Wave was based on XMPP.
