Clients
-------
Stand-alone web client (``Web``)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a web page which heavily uses Matrix for communication. Single-page web
apps would be classified as a stand-alone web client, as would multi-page web
apps which use Matrix on nearly every page.
Embedded web client (``EmbedWeb``)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a Matrix client which is embedded in another website, e.g. using
iframes. These embedded clients are typically for a single purpose
related to the website in question, and are not intended to be fully-fledged
communication apps.
Mobile client (``Mobile``)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a Matrix client specifically designed for consumption on mobile devices.
This is typically a mobile app but need not be so provided the feature set can
be reached (e.g. if a mobile site could display push notifications it could be
classified as a mobile client).
Desktop client (``Desktop``)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a native application which can run in its own environment outside a
browser.
Command Line Interface client (``CLI``)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a client which is used via a text-based terminal.
Internet of Things client (``IoT``)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a client which is typically running on an embedded device such as a
kettle, fridge or car.
