Gitter link change #784

Closed timea-solid closed 1 year ago

timea-solid commented 1 year ago

This should fix: https://github.com/solid/solidproject.org/issues/781

Oof, that's still a lot of steps to join. Wouldn't it be better to just send folks directly to Element Web? People that are interested in different clients will probably be able to find it there themselves.

(Also, maybe we should rename it from "Gitter" to either "Chat" or "Matrix".)

I will rename it to Chat. Regarding steps, this sends them to a dedicated space called Solid Project.

With this change, clicking "Chat" gives you this:

then this:

and if you're not struck with analysis paralysis by that point, you then get this:

and only after you click the non-primary "Continue in your browser" link, do you arrive at the space:

It looks like https://app.element.io/#/room/!vUYWTYtHqQmtlhthvy:matrix.org might throw people into the space directly? But I'm not sure how stable that URL is.

@Vinnl oh wow... ok. I will switch to your link even if not stable. We should keep an eye on it.

@Vinnl Thank you!
