How does Gitter solve UI problems?

Gitter addressed user interface (UI) problems primarily through strategic partnerships and acquisitions, such as the acquisition by Matrix. Matthew Hodgson, a technical co-founder of Matrix, discussed how this acquisition allowed them to work on Gitter's integration into Matrix from both sides—Matrix and Gitter—simultaneously. This approach facilitated an effective integration, using Gitter as a flagship example of integrating an application into Matrix’s ecosystem. Hodgson suggested that this method allowed them to showcase the relatively straightforward process of such integrations, potentially encouraging other platforms like Slack or Rocket Chat to consider similar paths 1.
