All project rooms are end-to-end encrypted (the lobby itself is intentionally open).<\/p>\n<h4>Why I made this<\/h4>\n<p>Idea is to bundle Discussions around ToGo-Lab hardware projects, design ideas, experiments, and implementation details. This space complements <a href=\"https:\/\/gitea.togo-lab.io\/explore\/repos\">Git repositories<\/a> and the blog as an additional communication channel.\nIf you\u2019re interested in a specific project (as referenced here on the blog or on Git), feel free to drop by the lobby and start a conversation with me.<\/p>\n<h4>Alternative \/ public Matrix presence<\/h4>\n<p>In addition to this self-hosted, project-dedicated server, there is also a public space on matrix.org. This is mainly for broader, non-project-specific exchanges. Same idea, feel free and show up in the <a href=\"https:\/\/matrix.to\/#\/#TGONet_Lobby:matrix.org\">TGONet-Lobby<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you\u2019re already using [Matrix](<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Matrix_(protocol\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Matrix_(protocol<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Element_(software)\">Element<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fractal_(software)\">Fractal<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/matrix.org\/ecosystem\/clients\/\">some another client<\/a>), just jump in, so we can talk.<\/p>\n<p>Hope to see you there soon.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_mmd_176\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/matrix.to\/#\/#lobby:togo-lab.io\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/togo-lab.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/togo-lab-MATRIX-Lobby_round-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-150x150 size-150x150\" alt=\"togo-lab MATRIX Lobby_round\" loading=\"lazy\" align=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m happy to share that the T\u014dG\u014d-Lab Matrix server is now up and running and officially open for productive use.
