Delta Chat is a new chat app that sends messages via e-mails, encrypted if possible, with Autocrypt. You do not have to sign up anywhere, just use your existing e-mail account with Delta Chat.

    A weird chat solution. The community should promote well-established chat solutions like irc, xmpp, and probably matrix in the future

      I also use xmpp, irc and matrix ^^ What I like about DeltaChat is that it uses an existing infrastructure that everyone has, e-mail. And with autocrypt, even novices can use encryption.

        For me, a real chat application run in the background and gives you message at any time. I don’t know if delta-chat run in the background but it seems a weird solution. But if you are happy with it, why not. ( For info, app xmpp ‘conversation’ running in the background is only 10M RAM)

          DeltaChat uses push mail, it sends messages directly from the server to the phone. I don’t oppose xmpp to deltachat it’s different technological solutions. I just share the link to this project which I think is great. Most people are sending unencrypted emails. At least with deltachat they’re encrypted.

      matrix in the future

      Matrix is perfectly capable today! It is the only or one of the very few that has:

      • E2E for groups with multi device synchronization that actually works.
      • Fully Open Source that you can run by yourself.
      • Full API that allows you to easily write bots, bridges, etc…
