Impressed by how well DeltaChat works nowadays!

https://delta.chat/en/

I could easily create an account without sharing any details. Connect with a friend's Android based phone & an iPhone. We could videocall & send small apps like a game or a shared list.

Apparently I can host my own chat relay & don't need to use someone else's infrastructure, but I haven't tested that yet.

This might be my Signal replacement. Well done @delta

@BjornW this project looks really interesting and I'm going give it a look. Thanks for posting about it.

@BjornW @delta So … who you gonna chat with? I already have trouble getting people on Signal

@BjornW @delta we’ve been using it for over a year with no problems it’s great

@BjornW @delta Also happy to use Delta.

The only thing i really miss, is compatibility with the Apple Watch (which i haven't replaced *yet*...) For example:
- i don't get call notifications on the Apple Watch. So i often miss them.
- can't mark messages as read on the Watch (like how Signal does it), nor send a quick reply (like )

@BjornW @delta I've been running a relay for more than 2 years now and it's super reliable. As for the app itself, it's become my favourite messenger, even though it lacks some polish when compared to Signal. All in all, I can only say good things about DC and the community around it
