Wingspan by Lukas Oberholzer

Supercharge Cinny: animated GIF picker, presence dots, profile banners, room nicknames, and space categories.

We all love Cinny, but it is lacking some features. This extension aims to fix that. Wingspan is a free, open-source enhancement layer for the Cinny Matrix client that closes the gap with mainstream chat apps.

What you get:
- GIF picker: Klipy-powered, with live search, trending feed, favorites, and a masonry grid of animated previews. GIFs upload to your homeserver as native image events, not as links.
- Live presence dots: color-coded online status on every avatar, driven by real-time /sync events. Works on instances that have this feature enabled.
- Custom user banners: Discord-style profile banners painted behind member-list rows and DM entries.
- Local nicknames: rename any user or room just for yourself. Client-side only.
- Categories in spaces: group rooms within a space under collapsible, drag-and-drop categories.
- Quieter timelines: fade out deletions, joins/leaves, and other noisy room events so real messages stand out.
