Please add the appstore description in markdown format here.
This app packages Synapse <upstream>1.12.3</upstream>.
**This package only provides the Matrix backend. A variety of clients are available
[here](https://matrix.org/clients/). Riot is a popular web frontend for Matrix and
is available as a separate app.**
Matrix is an ambitious new ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.
## Matrix
Matrix specifies a set of pragmatic RESTful HTTP JSON APIs as an open standard, which handle:
* Creating and managing fully distributed chat rooms with no single points of control or failure
* Eventually-consistent cryptographically secure synchronisation of room state across a global open network of federated servers and services
* Sending and receiving extensible messages in a room with (optional) end-to-end encryption[1]
* Inviting, joining, leaving, kicking, banning room members
* Managing user accounts (registration, login, logout)
* Using 3rd Party IDs (3PIDs) such as email addresses, phone numbers, Facebook accounts to authenticate, identify and discover users on Matrix.
* Placing 1:1 VoIP and Video calls
## Synapse
Synapse is a reference "homeserver" implementation of Matrix from the core development
team at matrix.org, written in Python/Twisted.
