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.

Webxdc support in DeltaTouch is generously funded by @nlnet / @NGIZero.

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. After much background work we released the hardened Delta Chat 1.36 series, also addressing a dedicated fourth independent security audit, and can finally share more of what was going on behind the scenes delta.chat/en/2023-05-22-webxd…
