Matrix Notepad is cool, but fairly useless in isolation. IMHO, there should be a way for people to make applications on top of Matrix without having to re-invent the login screen, among other duplicated things, every time. Plus, as a user, I don't want to sign in to a ton of different Matrix-based applications, nor do I want all the signed in devices, nor do I want every cool looking application to have complete access to my account. The solution is to have an app hosting protocol that allows client applications to be loaded in iframes with managed access to a user's Matrix account.
I am working on a Matrix Apps host application like this. When I am done, Matrix Notepad should be moved over to Matrix Apps and mostly re-written since the codebase is a complete mess.
