Nice surprise! Thanks to @lk108 we now have "DeltaTouch", the Ubuntu-Touch/UBports version of Delta Chat! It's pretty usable already .... read more on delta.chat/en/2023-07-02-delta… about the journey of bringing Delta Chat to a non-Android/iOS mobile platform 🎉

@linmob The important question is:

Is it finally possible to send encrypted voicemails over Delta Chat?

in reply to maxmoon 🌱

@utopify_org @linmob yes, audio messages are supported ... as it is the "core Rust" library taking care of all the networking and encryption, it is encrypted (UIs can't really get this wrong :)
in reply to Delta Chat

I can confirm for DeltaTouch: Voice messages are sent via the core, so if autocrypt is enabled (check for the lock symbol), they're encrypted. @utopify_org @linmob

@linmob woohoo... haven't used Delta Chat for a while.

It looks like a lot of stuff was done.

Another question, because this bothered me the last time:

Does someone created another client for desktops, because it was "not so good", because it was build on... what's its face... Electron or something.

in reply to maxmoon 🌱

desktop client is still electron, but we have plans to try out switching to tauri. though tauri is still web-based. But you could probably fork some other messenger app like fractal and convert it to use deltachat core instead of matrix for the backend to have some starting point.

As @lk108 wrote in the blogpost it's not so hard to make your own client ui on top of #deltachat_core

@treefit @linmob Tauri sounds interesting.

Using DeltaChatCore for weechat could be something interesting, too, just to have something lightweight for the terminal.

Hopefully adding voicemails or other media will work with it.

there is github.com/adbenitez/deltachat… so certainly possible to make a TUI client. Though this one is not in active development (still worked last time I tried a few months ago though)
