Hey everyone, I was reading up the various posts by vector on medium, when I came across some links to rooms. On clicking them, it opens the link in web browser where riot-web notifies that it isn't supported on mobile web and that the app must be installed, even though it is already installed. On clicking install, it takes you to the play store.

There should be some way such that one can chat with another person directly by just sending his matrix username.

Edit: I later found out that the links made with matrix.to do work, however, it would be much better if just Riot links also directly open in Riot, which don't as of now.

I believe that this message is no longer shown, I just tried accessing a riot link in Firefox on my mobile and got the regular Riot webinterface instead.

Also, I believe that riot.im (and probably vector.im still) links are now supported by the riot app as well (in addition to matrix.to links as you edited), so I guess this can be closed?
