I was only at the first six hours of the Decentralized Web Summit and I missed your demo. Tim Berners Lee was promoting solid github.com/solid as an open framework. I have just started looking at Solid and I would appreciate your comparison of Matrix and Solid.
Solid seems to have very similar goals to Matrix, but seems to be a bit more abstract at this point. I had some brief conversations with Tim at the summit about how to collaborate, and as you can see he's been using Vector to participate in the conference chat. I'm sure that we'll get the two to bridge or converge in future!
