Element Development & Integration
Element is the client, Matrix is the protocol. As an official Matrix partner, we understand the complexity of decentralized communication and end-to-end encryption.
Application Services (Bridges)
We develop 'Application Services' – special super-user components that tunnel and transform traffic between Matrix and foreign networks (Slack, Teams, Telegram).
State Resolution & Sync
The Matrix protocol is complex (State Resolution). We understand how to keep events consistent in decentralized rooms and correctly implement end-to-end encryption (E2EE).
Widgets & Bot SDKs
Element allows embedding web apps as widgets directly in the room. We build React apps that run in the Matrix client and use context data from the chat room.
Concrete Use Cases
How we implement Element development in practice.
Secure Multi-Messenger Bridge
Internal communication runs on Element, partners use MS Teams or Slack.
A dedicated Matrix Application Service mirrors rooms bidirectionally. Your data stays on your server, communication flows seamlessly to the partner.
IoT Device Control in Chat
Technicians must control machines on-site while documenting simultaneously.
A custom widget in Element shows live machine data. Control commands are sent signed via the Matrix network to the IoT device (E2EE).
Healthcare Secure Messenger
Patient data must be exchanged GDPR-compliant, but the UX must be simple.
We develop a whitelabel client (Element fork) and backend logic ensuring users can only communicate with verified doctors (Closed Federation).
