Syphon - a privacy centric matrix client

Syphon aims to be built on the foundations of privacy, branding, and user experience in an effort to pull others away from proprietary chat platforms to the matrix protocol.
Matrix has the potential to be a standardized peer-to-peer chat protocol, and in a way already is, that allows people to communicate and control their conversation data.

If the goal for Matrix is adoption, a network effect is required for this paradigm shift. Syphon makes the bet that the best way to attract new users is through strong branding and user experience.
