## Matrix/Element

Matrix is an API that enables Discord-like chatrooms via the Element client, available for desktop and smartphone. Matrix has many advantages over Discord, including the ability to share files up to 100 MB, significnatly greater respect for privacy and freedom of speech, and the ability to write inline or block equations in messages via KaTeX.

### Installation

1. Install the Element client to your device. Download here: https://element.io/get-started
2. Some have reported that the client is difficult to find once installed, so it is recommended that you save a shortcut or pin the Element client to your taskbar.
3. To enable math, find the `Element` directory on your computer and add/replace `config.json` with the following:
