Just about hit the floor when I read the DeltaChat app concept. Having worked in remote island communities with patchy, slow net for decades, the idea of an email-based open-source chat service is bloody thrilling.
Look forward to kicking tyres and asking awkward questions, but for now, no rush, just really impressed at the resurrection of the oldest and still most rock solid online technology from 30 years ago and making it brand new again.
Having tried all sorts of flash new web3+ stuff, I always try to look for simple, easy, free and ethical apps that can help remote e.g. island peoples save rare dollars on absurdly expensive data charges, especially here in Oceania.
If there’s anything I can do to help as a writer with a few media contacts, lemme know. I’ll report bugs and any missing links etc of course.
Hi Nadroy, it is not feasible for the system used (e-mail), because it would require having a server to redistribute the information and the concept of distributed service would disappear.
