Gitter lands new home in Matrix with Element

Gitter, an open-source chat and networking platform focused on developers, has been acquired by Element, the company behind the Matrix network for secure and decentralized communication. GitLab, Gitter's previous owner, sold the platform to concentrate on its core products, allowing Gitter to receive the necessary investment to grow within the developer community. Element aims to enhance Gitter's reach by integrating it into the Matrix network, thereby confirming Matrix as a hub for open collaboration among software developers. Founded in 2014 and independent since 2017, Gitter serves large developer communities with its free, open-source, and developer-centric platform, offering features like indexed message history and robust integration APIs. Element plans to replace the existing matrix-appservice-gitter bridge with native Matrix connectivity, transitioning Gitter into a Matrix client while inviting community feedback on this change.
