Matrix Room
This project bridges Gitter to Matrix and is already hosted for you. It creates portal rooms for every public room on Gitter which you can join via #org_repo:gitter.im
(just replace the /
in the Gitter URI with an underscore _
). For example https://gitter.im/nodejs/node corresponds to #nodejs_node:gitter.im.
If you're already using Element, you can browse all of the Gitter rooms in the public room directory (switch to the gitter.im
server).
