Security-Audited multiple times, last in 2024. #deltachat #chatmail #webxdc #FOSS #OpenPGP #p2p
If you want to do a fun thing this weekend, maybe write a little webxdc app for your family or friends chats? There are many to fork from, see and for development docs And for development tooling which simulates a multi member chat environment to run your app, before you post the zip file to a chat of yours. Everyone can start it. No app stores. No logins. No gafam. With built-in end-to-end encryption. Cheers.
#deltachat and #chatmail and #webxdc are in a unique "market" where few other cross-platform messengers can play. The unique and growing market is shaped by rising authoritarianism, internet shutdowns and restrictions. We are building a "Minecraft world of messaging" where skilled people can rip apart, modify, replace, recombine and do modding, at every level. All #foss and also: Decent UX and UI. Offline first. End to end encrypted. Standards based. Resilient. Decentralized.
#deltachat does - no bindings to public handles/numbers - no address-book upload - not do public contact or group discovery - not have critical persistent server state (!) Social identification is private, between people though ephemeral #P2P #E2EE messages. Servers see messages with random sender and recipient addresses, but those can not be mapped to a phone number or public handle. Servers see IP addresses. But you can use Tor, or a VPN, if you want to hide that. It' not all bad :)
