Organizational note: It might appear that #deltachat #chatmail and #webxdc contributors are easily "on the same page". In fact, there are many ongoing controversial discussions in backrooms and public spaces. We are dealing with tons of user perspectives and feedback, researcher and developer stances, many UX/UI considerations, complex implementation and platform adaptation. We are internally allowing contradictions and complexity ... See also Ashby's requisite variety edgeofpossible.com/ashbys-law-…

The trajectory of E2E-encryption is about de-platforming: There shall be no central machines that can control the edges/peers, and the social groups and virtual centers they freely form.

Our #deltachat R&D around #chatmail relays and #webxdc apps all aim to realize such a "zero-platforms" fully E2E-encrypted interaction model. However, this is *not* just about cryptographic cleverness. Rather it is about usable anti-authoritarian designs, as explicitly stated in January delta.chat/en/2025-01-23-webxd…


Delta Chat: Replacing billionairish platforms with ZIP files

How can we evolve and deploy web apps without allowing developers or operators to become a “billionaire in the middle”? There are many ways to try to address this challenge and some involve the tec...

Do you struggle to keep your #TOTP secrets synced and backed up properly? Do you wish you could give a group of people access to ephemeral authentication tokens? Then TOTP #webxdc from @rtn might be for you! Cross platform multi-device support means that you can use these tokens from any device, and you have a natural backup should one device go bust. As with all webxdc apps there is no server hosting involved. Everything is only visible on respective devices and end-to-end encrypted between

oh, wow. We just heard from @darestiet that there is an upcoming #webxdc #hackday workshop called "Transcend the limits of your group chats: collaborative apps" ...

WHERE: townhall of city of #Moers

WHEN: Saturday afternoon 2pm.

We can't remember to have heart about this before so it's very short notice only, maybe still interesting for people around Dortmund/Duesseldorf

@risottobias @ryanprior these general app store considerations and critiques are valid but have no meaning in the context of #webxdc apps. They are zip files, anyone can put them into a chat. Anyone can curate/maintain their own list of interesting zip files. webxdc.org/apps is just a community collection. Users don't need to go there to get or use an app. Apps also don't get updated in-place. Once posted, they stay exactly the same.

@Ketakater @ryanprior @risottobias apps like checklist or "split bill" are less than 100KB.

The Pixel app is 241 lines of Javascript without any dependency: 3900 bytes including an icon. codeberg.org/webxdc/pixel/src/…

#webxdc apps are very very minimal and all come with inspectable source code. There are no http requests at all. So it's not even that hard to verify there are no side channel attempts in most existing appa. An app literally is a zip-file btw, see also delta.chat/en/2025-01-23-webxd…

Dear fans of messenger comparison sports,

How does it factor in that on #deltachat there are many apps that can be used in a chat without requiring a login or even a privacy policy ... And the apps all work like cryptpad but automatically and without requiring any server side hosting?

Editing documents and checklists and calendars are all safely end-to-end encrypted without a server and anyone can write new #webxdc apps permission free.

Which other cross-platform messenger offers this?
