Those of you who have to work through Google, Apple and other store's compliance, we feel you! Maintaining around 16+ target distribution sites for cross platform apps takes a constant toll on us.

One of the giant features of #webxdc app developments is precisely that no store is needed. You can just write an index.html, a .js file and pack into a zip file and everyone can use this as an app in their chats, no store needed for permission and distribution.

Are you interested in enshittification-resistant application development?

After almost two years of collaboration with the wonderful @n0iroh team, we are happy to announce that #deltachat 1.48 apps on all platforms contain top-notch Peer-to-Peer networking support, including hole-punching and forward-secret end-to-end encryption. It is exposed through the new #webxdc realtime APIs and there are some nice initial showcase apps 🎉

With our #deltachat #chatmail and #webxdc efforts we put all intelligence on the end devices, and architecutally separate it from a transport layer that routes safely and fast but knows nothing.

There are a dozen or more #chatmail servers across many jurisdictions, all safely interopable with each other and classic servers.

Turned out we can dumb down email servers by relying on cryptography instead of IP reputation and ai/spam filtering. And have 200ms delivery times. We are not done :)

Preventing enshittificatiom with the "Ulysses pact" from @pluralistic pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/uly…

We consider our efforts aligned: #deltachat #chatmail and #webxdc implement "right to exit" on all levels of our decentralized messaging project.

- deploy your own servers permission free and interoperable with all e-mail servers ("federation mast")
- all apps and libraries and server components are 100% Foss
- interactive chat-shared web-apps can be used in other messengers

Beside the mini-games we've already mentioned as good use-case, all mentioned examples are better done in XMPP directly (and actually many exemples are already).

That was the main topic of the talk we had with @larma in Berlin: outside of mini-games, the use-case seems limited.

Note that I'm willing to implement #webxdc at some point, just that mini-games are low in my priorities.

sandboxed webapps that can have collaboration/multi-user features via constrained encrypted chat channel is more flexible and useful than integrating every app into the protocol/client because it is much more work for every client to implement such features, they are a project on its own, while by just implementing #webxdc support the clients benefits from apps that were even designed for other platforms

@debacle @lascapi @larma

we've talked a bit about that with @larma at last Berlin sprint.

I'm curious: what are the use-cases beyond mini-games?

If we look at webxdc.org/apps/ , it's mostly games or things that should be proper apps (e.g., editors) or implemented with a real protocol (e.g., calendar, encryption).

I'm willing to implement #WebXDC eventually, but mini-games are low on my priority list. What other use-cases or killer apps do you expect from this?

Hello there ! :)

Do you know if someone is working on use #webxdc in #matrix ?

Actually I wonder how how much it's the same as widget? 🤔

#deltachat and #xmpp can already use it ! 😁

DeltaTouch 1.6.0 is out, finally bringing basic Webxdc support as well as bugfixes and minor improvements 🎉

Many Webxdc apps just work already.

Some apps like Webxdc Store (via xstore@testrun.org) need stuff that's not there yet (add apps as file attachments for now). For a few others, touch input isn't working (e.g., ChessBoard). Will tackle that in the next months.

Updated the time tracking #webxdc app again with a few smaller bug fixes.
And the experimental autocompletion for labels to the edit- and create-page.

new version number is 0.8.0.

You can get it from github or from xstore@testrun.org (right inside of #deltachat).

Another update in my time tracking #webxdc app series.
This new version 0.6.0 mainly focuses improving the look of the entries tab.

I just ported to #WebXDC a #Wordle clone!

source code:
github.com/DeltaZen/reactle

Download the latest release:
github.com/DeltaZen/reactle/re…

attach it to a #DeltaChat group or any other app with webxdc.org support and have fun and compete with friends to guess the word every day!

I made a quick logo for my #webxdc time tracking app. Sadly I don't possess #logodesign skills, so it does not look very good, still better than no icon.

PS: if someone wants to attempt improving it, the pr is here: github.com/webxdc/timetracking…

Looks really great. Works well from my first tries.

#Webxdc

I finished the base functionality of my time tracking #webxdc app.
While the Design still needs some love and there is still much I want to add and improve, I decided that it is "done-enough" for a public release:

Earlier this year we got into a surprising and somewhat annoying struggle with Web browser sandboxing failures related to our "web apps shared in a chat" feature.
