There are no plans for calls right now. But it's probably going to be the new matrix inhouse VoIP calls and not jitsi.

This would be great, as I could finally replace element with something much nicer to use IMO. I currently have to use element to talk to my friends over VoIP.

I want to implement this. Does anyone have any pointers? (I have no experience with matrix APIs).

I am currently preoccupied by other projects, so I will not be implementing this in the foreseeable future.

I will post a comment if I decide to pick this up again.

[reesericci]

no worries!

I'd like to mention that I think using element call as a backend would be great, but it would make more sense to develop a user interface for it which follows the cinny design language. This could always be added down the line after just sloppily importing it though, so I'm not too worried about it, but one of the biggest strengths of cinny is how uniform its design language is.

Unpopular opinion:
Call functionality might bloat Cinny
