While I agree with you. Element is tooo heavy! I know there is Element X, but it has a lot issues working with others who has different clients. I would rather not use element if possible. There is a lighter weight Hydrogen seems more pleasing on code and front end.

So on the up side about matrix is if you don't like you can roll your own.
(unfortunately Hydrogen is no longer being developed; nobody funded it. Instead, focus is on Aurora, aka Element X Web: https://element.io/blog/hacking-for-a-sovereign-digital-euro... etc)
Yikes!!! One question got for matrix people?
Why is there NOT a version that works in the mobile browser?
Is it because the key management the whole indexDB gets deleted on Safari?
Can we just have matrix-js-sdk working in lowest possible mobile browser for public rooms and unencrypted messages?
hydrogen (hydrogen.element.io) was built for mobile web. but all our effort goes into native mobile apps these days.
