Modern Matrix-to-Discord appservice bridge, created by [@cadence:cadence.moe](https://matrix.to/#/@cadence:cadence.moe)

11
+
- Modern: Supports new Discord features like replies, threads and stickers, and new Matrix features like edits, spaces and space membership.

12
+
- Efficient: Special attention has been given to memory usage, database indexes, disk footprint, runtime algorithms, and queries to the homeserver.

13
+
- Reliable: Any errors on either side are notified on Matrix and can be retried.

14
+
- Tested: A test suite and code coverage make sure all the logic and special cases work.

15
+
- Simple development: No build step (it's JavaScript, not TypeScript), minimal/lightweight dependencies, and abstraction only where necessary so that less background knowledge is required. No need to learn about Intents or library functions.

16
+
- No locking algorithm: Other bridges use a locking algorithm which is a source of frequent bugs. This bridge avoids the need for one.

17
+
- Latest API: Being on the latest Discord API version lets it access all features, without the risk of deprecated API versions being removed.
