Oh wow congrats to the entire team for this amazing achievement!
And the cake under the cherry is… Element X is open-source as well[1][2]!
I really can't wait for Beeper[3] to rebuild their fork on top of Element X (it's currently based on Element, formerly called Riot). When this happens it will be an absolute game-changer for the messaging ecosystem.
From what I understand, the Beeper team has invested a lot of time and effort (and code!) into their own "make matrix go vroom" solution which also benefits their complex bridging system, and I imagine it would take some significant engineering time to unravel it for sliding sync.
