Do these people care about search results? With a name like that, most people will have a difficult time searching for element related stuff.

From the article: > RiotX (our ground-up rewrite of Riot Android) has exited beta, and replaces Riot Android as Element
RiotX I can find/see, but it shows as a beta. It's not called Element.
I guess it's a slow rollout?
I used Riot ages ago, it was the suggested solution to have IRC on mobile. It wasn't that reliable plus it was crazy slow (search . They now suggest Rocket chat, it isn't slow but it doesn't do IRC. So now the community is divided across loads of platforms. There's also some web based things, e.g. Discourse, some still use mailing lists, etc. Plus things like Gitlab. It used to be much easier to follow things ("lurk").
