#WebXDC hashtag - Bluesky

1 week ago

Fun funding fact: If we had 10 times more money to develop #deltachat , the #chatmail relay network and the #webxdc secure mini app ecosystem, we would still have ten times less than what signal has (let alone Whatsapp or telegram). But we don't want to increase nudging people for donations, as […]

Вот как у ботов в #DeltaChat может быть хороший UX, если там нет ни аналога телеграмных кнопок CallbackQuery, ни автодополнения команд?

Пока, увы, потенциальная аудитория ботов в DC ограничена любителями консольки.

Разве что если можно сделать настройку через #WebXDC-приложение? Тогда может […]

I created a small #webxdc app for #DeltaChat / #ArcaneChat as a #joke to quickly send a "Yo!" or "Bro!" notification to your chat pals!

this was inspired by an episode of #SilliconValley

On the occasion of SimpleX and Session getting cryptocoin-donations/funding ... we won't hide that most delta contributors are pretty skeptical of cryptocoin-circles. Exhibit 1: Webxdc apps -- mini apps that anyone can whip up -- and the declared motto still on […]

home page picture of https://testrun.org text title "Testrun.org" with the sub title "experimenting with the future of Email" the picture is a collage and shows the head of a dinosaur with an open mouth and many teeth trying to swallow a Zeppelin that seems to be flying directly into the mouth. Next to the dinosaur head is a classic "@" email symbol. the middle part is blue, and has overlay graphics of a moon-like planet and some old computers in the back the bottom part contains a picture of a sysadmin ca. 1975 in front of computer screens that show green letters on a black screen. There also are separately three cryptic letter chains that seem to translate to "Communications", "Command" and "Sigma". Another "@" sign is left of the computer screens.

Not taking Venture Capital money means:

- No pressure to maximize monetization of usage (for every million of VC funding you need to find ~100+ Million in value later).

- No prioritization of growing fast with PR campaigns that promise the moon and stumble on […]

Base tech resilience comes from tools that can be used offline. #deltachat apps are offline-first in that you can create chats, send messages, look at messages/media and trigger establishung contact via qr code scans. And you can use #webxdc apps (with checklist, calendars, editors, shopping […]

@YvanDaSilva it removes EXIF metadata from images

this p2p real-time feature […]

As far as we know #deltachat supports the widest range of old mobile devices. And it's real often hard work to achieve that. For example, on android three (!) rust/networking experts needed to huddle for many days to sort out "how to get own device IP addresses". They ended up implementing […]

primary view on "pixel it" app posts, with two entries: - "Delta purple skull ghost" with some house corner visible and a light projection on the wall. Two people have "hearted" this. - "The delta ghost" with some picture of a classic ghost shape with a pixelated "delta" on top

https://webxdc.org/apps/#arcanecircle-pixelit social media app runs full screen: showing someone posting a (pixelated) picture of a lake and beach with the text "I miss the sun" and one person answers "Also i am fine to ge ta bit of rain after all this sunny week" and another one "I am enjoying the rain vibes with chill music"

some new #webxdc apps ....for personal or group journaling or running a minimal original "twitter" style social network in a larger chat group, end-to-end encrypted and private, without anyone outside being able to access anything except for the chat group […]

We don't see, or plan, a place for AI in our software stacks. A few notes.

Some attempts to use AI tooling provided nothing of value in the chatmail-core-UI stacks that produce the #deltachat store releases on all platforms.

Some in the community AI-generated a base #webxdc app and fixed bugs […]

Comparing #XMPP against #email protocols is too limited. What sets #deltachat apart is *vertical integration* and being driven by UI/UX considerations. Cross-platform Apps and Bots use the Rust core library which connects with #chatmail relays and classic email servers based on a higher level […]

By design, end-to-end-encrypting #deltachat and #webxdc apps only need ephemeral transport. It's a big deal. Let's compare:

- #matrix home servers maintain a cryptographic forever-chain of cleartext social-graph metadata.

- #WhatsApp servers maintain cleartext metadata visible to Meta.

- […]

a graph showing "Direct push notifications for the last hour" On the X axis it starts around May 24th 7:30pm and goes until May 26th 7:30pm. On the X axis it goes from 0 to 80K notifications for the last hour. There are two plot lines: - Apple push notifications which are in the range of 7K and 15K notifications in every hour. - Google Play notifications which is between 10k and 80k notifications per hour. There are around 5 spikes that go up to 70k or above 80k notifications in every hour.

The last two days saw the number of push notifications spike. Sometimes 80K Google Play push notifications happened per hour, while the baseline was more around 10-20K. These spikes probably indicate Internet availability. #deltachat is offline-first: you can […]
