Last Notes npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1upj…2c6m any particular error message from the nine server? npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat The #EUGoingDark 42-point plan for after the election has it all: breaking e2e encryption, "lawful" data retention, prohibiting encrypting metadata, threatening jail to developers for non compliance ..... If we thought political currents are moving against privacy then this is a new severity worthy of the worst authoritarian states dreams ... https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/first-insight-42-key-points-of-the-secret-eugoingdark-surveillance-plan-for-the-new-eu-commission/ npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub14ys…0us0 sure, also there is a second post under the top. Massive multi-device ftw! :) npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1ke7…7n5r ah, ein Problem - cmdeploy, das script mit dem chatmail deployed wird, ist davon abhängig dass auf dem server apt installiert ist. also zumindest der Server muss auf Debian oder Ubuntu laufen. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Upsie! We forgot to mention what is also new with the rolling android 1.46 release: android also got "arbitrary" reactions now . In some real family chats this is more appreciated than all the other news :) https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/112/560/402/047/526/796/original/ca69d938290372bc.jpg npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub16q3…3ajw yes but "aeap" is not often used in practise yet ( https://delta.chat/en/2022-09-14-aeap ) and has some limitations. We have plans to take up aeap and move it to he next level but they are not immediate plans. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat It's a crazy property of #chatmail that it practically has zero state: if a Chatmail server is raided, burns to the ground etc but you still have DNS control, you just set it up somewhere and people can continue chatting. In that sense it's really like a router .... You can turn it off, wipe discs, reinstall and turn it on. Theoretically someone might take your address if they arrive first with their login but they would not get readable message content so it would be more annoying than unsafe npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Delta Chat had "use but minimize" in its DNA when engaging with specs and standards. Autocrypt and #securejoin for guaranteed e2ee, #Chatmail servers with secure chat focus, #webxdc apps with html/css focus .... are the strategic examples of engaging with real internet standards but carefully curating the subset to go for .... Almost all standards are way too complex and unfitting for real world issues ... Our approach is neccessarily pragmatic because we lack resources to be idealism driven npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1ya0…fpqv we are bound to look into that soon. Do you have experience with it yourself? npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1zzd…xfv6 iOS push notifications for Chatmail servers were already there with the1.44 release. The new 1.46 release introduces push notifications for Android gplay. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat A major milestone in our 6+ years long project history: With the rolling 1.46 #deltachat app releases you can start chatting without a pre-existing e-mail address, and benefit from push notifications (instant message delivery) also on Android. We also highlight ways to get in contact with bots and humans, and how #chatmail makes e-mail cheap again https://delta.chat/en/2024-05-31-instant-onboarding npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub12ac…3xqe thanks for clarification and all your work! Netzpolitik writes that encrypted communications might be excluded from chatcontrol in their reporting about it, but only in a side sentence. What is your interpretation? npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat WhatsApp introduces "ask meta ai" in the local chat search bar, and Slack auto-feeds messages to train their LLM robots https://eigenmagic.net/@NewtonMark/112455578857917485 ... Delta Chat is among the shrinking number of messaging applications that does not look at your data except to end-to-end encrypt it and send it over interoperable message transport servers chosen by yourselves and your contacts. #decentralization #security #privacy ftw! npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Often overlooked from our "but e-mail!" skeptics: Any sufficiently advanced P2P messenger will eventually re-invent a custom, partial form of e-mail ... because users want to communicate when their apps are offline or not foregrounded and active at the same time. See https://briarproject.org/download-briar-mailbox/ for a recent example. Delta Chat goes the reverse route by providing a secure and interoperable e-mail based messaging experience and then adds P2P tech like https://webxdc.org on top. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1u2x…r44u yes. It's in the advanced settings. If it doesn't work, you can find some advice here: https://delta.chat/en/help#i-cant-import-my-existing-pgp-key-into-delta-chat npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1u2x…r44u usually yes -- in advanced settings there is a way. see also https://delta.chat/en/help#can-i-reuse-my-existing-private-key npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1klv…w84p great, thanks. Note that deltachat-core-rust is not needed for running a chatmail server. It's only used for testing the chatmail server ops. Are you aware of that? npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Delta chat may be criticized for not being the most secure messenger in some sense or not the most feature rich. When it comes to interoperability, however, our efforts and collaborations are the biggest game in town, no? The two biggest sets of internet standards revolve and operate at massive scale around E-Mail and the Web. Our approach fully engages and takes up these extremely impactful sets of standards, and reliably wires them into a modern UI #deltachat #webxdc #chatmail npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1f7f…qyv8 that's a very generic question. Some of us tried jami a bit but it probably has progressed since then. Maybe someone else needs to chime in who knows jami and delta chat and has used both for a while recently. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Did you know that Delta Chat is the only mature, cross-platform secure messaging app that does not use or need a key server? Signal, Matrix, Proton, Whatsapp all effectively operate key servers that reveal the cryptographic identity (a very strong identifier) behind an address. Delta Chat uses decentralized specs and protocols that reveal your cryptographic identity only to those you choose to interact with. Nothing can be publically queried. Background link: https://delta.chat/en/help#encryption-and-security npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Delta Chat is an in-between project: often ignored as a messenger by e-mail companies/experts and then ignored by messenger companies/experts because of its use and interoperability with e-mail. As Heinz von Foerster once said: "If you are doing something genuinely new then don't ask the experts. If you do something that has already been done, then, by all means, ask the experts." FWIW many experts have verified Delta Chat's security mechanics https://delta.chat/en/help#security-audits :) npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Seems the french surveillance practises (Hadopi) identifying people behind IP addresses have been legalized by a top EU court. Fwiw #chatmail servers remove any IP address traces after two days and collect no personal data whatsoever. Maybe it's time for a french themed chatmail server similar to the de,pl,us ones? https://delta.chat/en/chatmail npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1v3q…z62w if you want to consider using delta chat and chatmail for student onboarding purposes let us know if you need advise. For more info see our pinned messages. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Apart from the default #chatmail server advertised at https://get.delta.chat there are at least three other stable open-signup servers whose operators cooperate to ensure stability, see the new pages covering background such as funding, trust etc https://delta.chat/en/chatmail npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Phew, that was a damn short window of dysfunction .... It works.already again. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat https://delta.chat is down .... oh no!!!!!.... do you notice any problems with message deliveries? Of course not because DC apps do not depend on this or another single central server :) Anyways, there is a little planned migration ongoing. Well'be back and hugs to our sysadmin/devops folks :) npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Within #deltachat teams and with many collaborating experts and projects around us, we somewhat stubbornly cling to "working code wins" .... But don't forget it's powerful sibling: "maintenable code wins", especially in the longer term. Our automated testing culture, our use of #rustlang at the heart of things and our usability-first focus all help maintenanbility. We don't have the treachery luxury of vc-funding which means we must be a hundred times more economical in our approaches. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1upj…2c6m it listens on stdin/stdout. See for example https://py.delta.chat/jsonrpc/intro.html for accessing/using it... You may also use some tooling on top to relay that to IP/ports network communication. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Messaging transports better be dumb and do the bare minimum to get the job done for end-to-end encrypting apps .... Compared to #matrix homeservers #chatmail servers are two orders of magnitude more dumb, consume two orders of magnitude less resources and are blazing fast and don't require extra (central?!) identity and integration servers. With delta all intelligence, including general purpose https://webxdc.org/apps , lives on the end devices, including security against compromised networks. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1ugu…qaau yes: https://delta.chat/en/help#howtoe2ee this will create an i.delta.chat invite link. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat "but e-mail !1!!!" Is probably still a number one objection from experts and power users who refuse to fathom that e-mail protocols are a viable option for instant messaging even if it demonstrably works, is fast and secure :) We'd be happy if someone engaged in a proper comparison with xmpp and matrix specs and impls, really the only three messenging protocols deployed and implemented at scale. (Can't compare that with Signal or WhatsApp which don't have wire specs!). https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/blob/main/standards.md npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat #cryptography news: rpgp, the pure Rust #OpenPGP encryption engine used in all #deltachat apps, got quite some love lately, including a revamp of the main entry point for developers: https://github.com/rpgp/rpgp . You may regard rpgp as an extension of the #rustcrypto effort where a lot of the base code lives and is co-maintained by the wonderful diginifiedquire who also just landed a long awaited sha1-colission detector -- as one of the few people officially allowed to write crypto code :) npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1ya0…fpqv yes, or even just all messages but no attachments -- even 5-year old accounts with thousands of chats only have like 200-400 MBs size ... 90% or more of the backup file is attachements (photo audio etc.) npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat How many people do you know that have lost their messaging history on Whatsapp or Signal, photos etc during mobile phone transitions or breakage or through other shenenigans? With #deltachat you can: - export "everything" to a file and import it on any of the many different devices - or just setup a second device through a QR code scan -- which was happily discovered here after an accidental factory reset https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-2066-0695-ca24-081964494389 npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat The last 1.44 release round did not only contain a lot of UI/UX milestones but also 20 security fixes based on a deep analysis from Yuanming Song and colleagues of the Applied Cryptography group at ETH Zuerich https://delta.chat/en/2024-03-25-crypto-analysis-securejoin https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/112/156/895/830/958/929/original/b2501f73bc176311.png npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1zzd…xfv6 no official list but https://nine.testrun.org, https://mailchat.pl, https://mehl.cloud and https://bcc.chat are ones whose operators are independent and collaborate in a chat with each other, and are generally fine with people onboarding there, and can reasonably be expected to operate for a longer time. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1w07…a70l @npub1rut…xsk5 @npub1z2j…r69f @npub10qx…8d05 Yes you can, our desktop client is react + typescript for example. There are two libraries to use our rust core: 1. the old CFFI bindings: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/tree/main/node (docs: https://js.delta.chat ) 2. the new jsonRPC bindings: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/tree/main/deltachat-jsonrpc You can find examples here: https://github.com/deltachat-bot/echo/ npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub13qc…kr6p because we do not currently see much point in putting a particular restriction on the usage of the chatmail collection of recipes and modules -- what disadvantages do you see? What would be the attacker/exploiter of the MIT license here? npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub13qc…kr6p we do not have any intention of apropriating our experiments and, frankly, usually do not discuss licenses very much. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat The default setup of #chatmail is for open signups (anyone can get an address) but some operators implement a private signup protocol and that's fine and easy enough to do because https://github.com/deltachat/chatmail/ is a small machine. Chatmail addresses should be abundant and safe to use for anyone , and cheap to operate with basic skills .... A few thousand chatmail routers might already cover adresses for 10 billion people, with less resource/energy usage than a single VC funded LLM startup :) npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub18um…kqrh great to hear that our "it just works" design goal for all #chatmail instances becomes reality :) .... There is still a bit of things to do to make it even nicer but it's a major step forward already for iOS user experience. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub14ue…62vv could you file on https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues with screenshot ? npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1z8p…mn5l Not unthinkable and in fact the topic of a developer discussion this morning :) npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat #deltachat just got four major usability improvements as the 1.44 releases are rolling out 💗 Reactions on all platforms 💗 iOS Push notifications 💗 Multi-account desktop sidebar 💗 share invite links via other messengers. Enjoy :) https://delta.chat/en/2024-03-12-jumbo44 npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1yp7…3vn4 @npub1dwh…8j9k this has just improved -- the ios version from yesterday (1.44) from the apple app store provides instant push notifications if you are using a #chatmail account (e.g. https://nine.testrun.org) npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1s89…f0yf @npub1dwh…8j9k please take a look at #chatmail and thus intro Blogpost about a interoperable and secure chatmail hosting which is available already for anyone (there are also a few self hosted instances already) https://delta.chat/en/2023-12-13-chatmail npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1upj…2c6m yes, it's for writing bots in different languages without having to deal with "C" style bindings, see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/tree/main/deltachat-rpc-server for an entry point to discover more. JsonRPC is already the basis for the desktop app so it's quite possible to write a new 3rd party app using JsonRPC, so all networking/encryption/contact/chat-management is solved and only the UI part is to be written. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat New from the machine room: our pure #Rust core library underlying all #deltachat apps now has reproducible builds for "deltachat-rpc-server", used by bots and soon also the Desktop app https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/112/047/724/011/371/169/original/752a387275c51b74.png npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1r6h…khyt not sure it needs a market to make meaningful relations to users .... But indeed, finding a sustainable funding basis is a challenge and that can be framed as a market question .... As far as we see almost no messenger, maybe except @npub1ue3…kryc has a sustainable funding basis and is mostly cross financed, to maximize their user share and then figure out monetizing. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1luj…gsfx 1. the emails will only get deleted on the server, not in delta chat - so a password sent via email would stay in the app. 2. yes, this is correct. we can not support every use case, if longer storage is needed, other email providers probably make more sense. you can think of chatmail as an email router more than an email server. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1g3e…nfxp yes, here crypto means cryptography like it used to :) npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Given the experiences of the last decade it's healthy to distrust #decentralized tech if - it's mainly developed by a centralized power structure - the involved technology is very complex - there is coin or VC funding involved #deltachat has 1/100th, if even that, of what other popular messenging projects have in terms of moneys. But our distributed top-notch expertise in UI, crypto, networking tech and our federated collaborative practises across these concerns, try to make up for it ... npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat In whichever area of #deltachat related developments you look, you will find different people and communities -- even if there are several individuals who appear in multiple contexts as key contributors or drivers. There is no single person who gets to decide about everything even if we do have lead roles for particular aspects. Our experimental community approaches respect Convays Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law -- meaning: our #decentralization tech will be only as good as our social practises npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1d8y…g8p7 @npub1zgy…ekqk it was spam, pretty sure, and we reported it. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1k08…6xvn @npub1k0y…zpfz we are also getting a lot of spam, maybe worthwhile to block these three instances ? npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1htm…5ul7 @npub1gj9…wshu there currently is a PR under discussion which would remove webxdc sending limits fyi https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5268 npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1sly…t8j7 @npub179s…epju we understand your sentiments against e-mail as you are hardly alone to have fundamental doubts about it ... however, we'd be curious what you think of our december #chatmail https://delta.chat/en/2023-12-13-chatmail post -- it's true that this requires Delta Chat on both sides but the same is true for Signal or Matrix. Contrary to Matrix, #chatmail servers are very dumb and fast and that is by design because intelligence should be in the end-points #e2ee npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Reclaiming Peer-to-Peer Web technology with #webxdc out of the ashes of "Web3": our 2024 opening post on the topic :) https://delta.chat/en/2024-02-15-webxdc-m3 Psst: we are looking for more folks experienced with Web app development with a knack for P2P technology .... https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/111/934/982/017/863/770/original/5f1e7092ca9c7c35.jpg npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub12ac…3xqe I doubt there will be end to end encryption .... This would naturally mean that messenger clients implement interoperable end-to-end encryption with WhatsApp clients .... For example, which matrix client will support WhatsApp encryption in the coming months?

Ranging from intermingling with people operating security-sensitiv helplines using #chatmail to discussing email standards like the evolving openpgp cryptorefresh ...

If you happen to have a reproducable issue (i.e. give a recipe how to get the problem) chances are we can quickly fix it.

So far without a glitch, no "couldn't decrypt" errors, everything lightning fast, some people using multiple devices with their account, 30 people joining during lice onboarding on day1 and using a editor together in the chat (cryptpad without a server basically). Seems like all the milestones of 2023 (guaranteed e2ee, web apps, chatmail) are ...

Delta Chat is just one of the email clients which implements it: https://autocrypt.org/dev-status.html Basically, where PEP sends the PGP key as an attachment, Autocrypt sends it in an email header. There are a few more differences: https://autocrypt.org/faq.html#how-does-autocrypt-differ-from-pep npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1ch9…z4nt yes, you need to use qr code scans for establishing e2e encrypted communication. https://delta.chat/en/help#howtoe2ee npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1ch9…z4nt sure it does already. You can try one of our development servers eg c1.testrun.org and chat with nine.testrun.org address. We support others setting up chatmail services on different domain and under their sovereignty. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat #chatmail is not a replacement for Whatsapp in the traditional sense. It's a small machine that can be tweaked in many ways. The tweakability of the e-mail system is in it's DNA and practises ... that is the antithesis to WA if you like :) What drives nine.testrun.org, the first public chatmail service, is fully visible at https://github.com/deltachat/chatmail -- a minimalist config and setup, some python modules and tests, standard postfix/dovecot. co-incidentally pretty fast but there is a twist ;) https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/111/586/612/819/954/881/original/1030a407a0e0db38.mp4 npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub12jg…0gha @npub1lw6…y4ye all of the documentation and installation scripts are contained in this repository: https://github.com/deltachat/chatmail hopefully this is enough to get you started?

But in any case, we have a tentative plan to improve the iOS notification story in the next major release.

You also can glimpse in this PR some of the security improvements we are aiming for in the next couple months. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Do you sometimes hesitate to give out your Whatsaypp or Signal address for work, project or private uses respectively? Indeed, it's not always easy to keep social contexts separated but all #deltachat apps feature proven multi-account support. Just create another :) Tired of platform notification mails and having to go to some weird web mail interface with lots of ads? Just create another account in Delta Chat for platform spam/notifications, and receive it all in a convenient chat app. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat @npub1d68…dham you could probably try to reuse the android frontend and connect it to your core. When @npub1z5d…lat4 started the project, he took Telegram's UI and exchanged the core with a C-Lib. It's quite some work but not impossible to figure this out for someone knowlegablee on Android/Java. You could also do some PRs to Delta Chat Android to get a feel and help to understand things. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat Small update: a few hours later we had tagged a fixing 1.40.1 which is in the pipelines of fdroid while the brown bag release 1.40.0 is marked as invalid and should not get auto-Installed further. npub16zxpwcght62n7q4j88uj6ynehdqfzk572rues3y2tshr0vehfwjq2v4ynp Delta Chat It seems that the fdroid 1.40 fdroid #deltachat built is broken. Sorry about that. We are trying to mitigate and fix. You can mark this 1.40.0 update to be ignored in the fdroid app. If you already installed the new version then try downgrading.
