Implementing a Matrix client inside WorkAdventure
summary
A Matrix client is embedded into WorkAdventure using the Matrix JS SDK (Rust SDK/WASM bindings were unavailable), with the login flow built around Synapse SSO and a Matrix Authentication Service to bridge OIDC; development takes about 7 months, 2 people and encryption implementation alone costs 1–2 months. UI work reuses Element React patterns converted to Vue (chatGPT did ~70% of the conversion), supports spaces and notifications, and plans include bridges and Matrix RTC.
