Such a funny but true video. I enjoy this app very much btw. It’s peer to peer messaging. So no central server storing messages forever and selling your data.

Is this a #secure #MessagingApp? Maybe not yet, but it’s time to think about #DigitalPrivacy.

Imagine a #Messaging platform that’s as #secure as #Signal but requires #NoRegistration and #NoInstallation. By leveraging #WebRTC for direct #BrowserToBrowser communication, this #OpenSource project eliminates the #Middleman entirely. Simply share a unique #URL to establish an #Encrypted #PrivateChannel. It is a #Lightweight, #Disposable method to bypass #DataHarvesting and reclaim #DigitalSovereignty.

This project introduces a new #Paradigm in #ClientSide managed #Encryption. Send #Secure messages with #NoSetup, #NoCloud, and #NoTrace.

Experience the #Features:
* #PWA (#ProgressiveWebApp) for instant access
* #P2P (#PeerToPeer) connectivity
* #EndToEndEncryption (#E2EE)
* #SignalProtocol & #PostQuantum #Cryptography
* #Multimedia, #FileTransfer, & #VideoCalls
* #NoDatabase & #Stateless architecture
* #TURN server support for reliable connections

While not yet a direct replacement for #Simplex or #WhatsApp, this introduces a unique approach to #SecureCommunication.

‘Unfair’ to legit users? DICT mulls banning Telegram

These two projects adress very different kimds of chats. While I love DeltaChat
for 1:1 chats, or small groups, setting up a big group, where people may join, or leave at will, is a major PITA compared to Matrix.

Matrix replaces Slack, Telegram, or Teams. Delta replaces Whatsapp, or Signal. Different goals, different solutions, and different tradeoffs.

I hear a lot about Matrix being a truly decentralized protocol. But if you register with an instance and it goes down, all users under that instance go down with it. It happened a couple of months ago @ matrix.com and everybody knows it.

Differently, Delta Chat allows users to register same account on different relays so if the main goes down, users can just switch relay and keep chatting.

That makes Delta Chat one step ahead. Prove me wrong.
