  1. @lns sorry, but no. gnupgp UX sucks so hard that even I don't get it without extensive internet searching.

    And I heard horrible stuff about integration into programs, like that they need to kill the daemon regularly to make it work.

    Let's rather invest our efforts into making modern alternatives like and
    crates.io/crates/rsop/ great.

  2. @qgustavor @adbenitez you can add as many profiles/accounts as you like, some of them can be classic email accounts that can email everyone that uses email, even if they don't support encryption. If they have a client with support (or deltachat), then the conversation is encrypted as soon as they answer you (outgoing messages contain your pubkey, there is no key server).

    Go to the profile switcher -> Add Profile -> new profile -> use different server -> classical email login

  3. Anyone heard of the messengers or ? What are your experiences with those apps? what do they do well what is not good?

    I never really heard of them before, even though they exist for some years already and I'm wondering whether I live under a rock. 🪨

  4. ✨ My first technical blogpost is out now. ✨

    If you ever wanted to learn a bit about how
    works internally and why we have two ways to communicate with our core, then this is the introduction to read

  5. anyone interested in helping out with maintaining the message parser for desktop?

    It's like a , written in :rust_ferris: with the parser combinator library.

    Repo: github.com/deltachat/message-p

    We have some bugs that I currently don't have the capacity to fix.

  6. Since when do you know about ?

    What was your point where you said "wow, I can now actually use it (since my favourite feature was finally implement)"?

    I estimate for most people it was the introduction of (instant profile creation) and reliable

  7. 1.46 rollout is basically done except for and (the Nix package is already in the works, home-brew could use some help)

    There are also some users reporting crashes with the flatpak: github.com/deltachat/deltachat
    And with the MacOS version from the appstore github.com/deltachat/deltachat

    So if you have problems tell us, additional information will help us to solve these issues. (frankly we rely on user feedback because we have )

  8. Context: if you follow discussions on the forum you might already know that we're planning to move from to in the future. But porting the desktop client is a big effort (our move to was one step into this direction).
    So I made this small sample project to check tauri out.
    It's a nice side effect if the emoji picker is useful by itself, maybe we could even build a community for the emoji picker.

  9. scrolling in feels even faster now after switching the backend from cffi to &

    Be ready for desktop 1.34, It's coming soon..

  10. We’re working hard on the upcoming 1.34 desktop release.
    The bulk of the work was moving all talking with core to api, which speeds up development and itself.

    The move to jsonrpc is also one big step in liberating us from electron, as we plan to switch to tauri.app in the far future.

    Stay tuned for the new test releases in the 1.33.X release row.
    (even versions are releases, odd versions are test releases)

    What new features are you most excited about?
