This is DeltaChat desktop client but not with the default Electron. Compile instructions for Debian, Arch Linux and openSUSE. One Linux distribution has this packaged : NixOS, package name kdeltachat-unstable. The software developer is also active in the DeltaChat forum. Posting this here to give this project some more attention cause it would be nice to see less Electron and more Kirigami (or Tauri ?).

      I’ve compiled kdeltachat yesterday and it is different from the default Electron based Deltachat desktop app. At startup it immediately shows a big configuration screen inviting the user to fill in email address, SMTP port and a lot more text fields. The default Deltachat app looks polished and much nicer for “normies”. Ignoring and closing that configuration part and it looks like a simple Qt app without much colors so I guess it the app is a work in progress. Maybe I’ll provide some screen shots later.

        Show us screenshots instead of telling us how the client looks like!

            I am not alone wanting to see screenshots of softwares before even installing them. If you refuse to provide screenshots because someone is not saying please, expect many will not try your DeltaChat client. Over and out.
