@ullarah @prologic wow thats impressive. Whats your opinion of delta.chat?
@will I've already shared [my opinion(s) of Delta.chaat](https://search.twtxt.net/search?q=%2Bnick%3Aprologic+%2Btext%3A%22Delta+Chat%22) -- But I'll summarize here again:

- "Abusing" Email (SMTP/IMAP) is "clever" but you end up messing up your Inbox(s) a bit.
- Opportunistic encryption is not great
- Leaking unnecessary "Metadata" via RFC 2822 headers is not great
- _a few other things I forget_ probably to do with complexity of "building" against it.

In comparison to Salty.im:

- Easier to operate, build against and stand up (the reference broker)
- Full e2e encryption (not opportunist)
- Uses simple IndieWeb-style inspired standard "Web" / HTTP as tarnsport
