A perfect example of good software.

Enter email, enter password, welcome to federated encrypted chat messages. Simple.

Easy adaptation too. Invite a friend using either a friendly invite URL (referral link) or Qr Code, they enter their email address, and password, done.

This is easier to use than WhatsApp or Signal. It is called, Delta Chat, and it works with your own email.

@adnan IMO, no. I know how big of a challenge it is to get a group to switch communications apps & in your situation I wouldn't.

I still trust #Signal & use it for my groups. If someone were just getting into using encrypted chat, then I would recommend #DeltaChat. I haven't experienced any buggy glitches, it has more upside & I love the community being built around it. It wasn't any harder for me to start using than matrix or mastodon.

La meilleure synthèse de pourquoi il faut utiliser Delta Chat :
Signal c'est bien. Mais ton outil de communication ne devrait pas avoir un CEO.
@delta est décentralisé.
Le code est ouvert et audité.
Tout le monde peut l'utiliser sans créer de compte avec son mail habituel delta.chat/fr/
tout le monde peut héberger son propre serveur avec ChatMail delta.chat/fr/chatmail

More from Delta Chat

Bonjour tout le monde,

Je voudrais utiliser dans un de mes cours une appli de tchat libre pour que les élèves puissent continuer ensuite à s'en servir sans devoir payer de licence ou d'abonnement, et pour les sensibiliser (un peu) aux enjeux et usages du libre.

Auriez-vous des suggestions et/ou retours d'expérience de cas d'usage similaires svp ?

Actuellement je teste #DeltaChat, mais elle ne répond pas au critère d'usage web je crois (cf liste dans pouet suivant).

Have I told you the good news of Delta Chat?

I use #Signal & like it a lot. I've played around with #DeltaChat & it's got some killer features that Signal doesn't. This is coming from a non-techie, but it uses encypted email in the background & nothing is stored on anyone's server in any country.

That's all awesome, but even more than that it's FUN! It allows you to do things like play games in the chat with people making FOSS apps for it, I guess.

@feld can probably answer any tech questions, but I wanted to give it a shoutout.
