For now this "#deltachat_web" project is merely meant as proof that the deltachat desktop frontend/UI has no dependency on electron anymore.

With a few nice side-benefits:

It allows us developers to use other browsers dev tools to improve #accessibility for example and to bring back automated ui #testing.

Last but not least this serves as a stepping stone to make a #tauri version of #deltachat_desktop

Stay tuned for the #nlnet funded #delta_tauri project.

#deltachat_web

I made the #deltachat_web version run as add-on on #HomeAssistant. It was easy, just took me around 2 days.
So this is one way to host the browser edition in your local network. :homeassistant:

Though I must tell you that I don't plan to maintain this, I just made it because it looked like a fun side quest to #deltatauri. That being said it is totally usable.

Thanks @homeassistant for making add-on development so easy.

@rtn also nice idea, though the app is already really good.

What could be nice would be some interface where you can select some limited entities/lamps/devices to be controlled by a bot+webxdc and then it creates a group where you can add friends that stay over so while they are in the group they can just control the light and stuff in the guest room and they don't need to download extra apps?
