I'm currently working on a new npm package that will replace deltachat-node (which is still based on the cffi and NAPI).
The new npm package will make use of the #reproducible buildable deltachat-rpc-server binaries, which will make cross compiling much easier.

A nice side-effect to this is that the new npm packet is even somewhat compatible with #deno
Nice work on the part of Deno for their node compatibility!

Let me know If you would be interested in writing #deltachat #bots with #deno


#cryptography news: rpgp, the pure Rust #OpenPGP encryption engine used in all #deltachat apps, got quite some love lately, including a revamp of the main entry point for developers: github.com/rpgp/rpgp . You may regard rpgp as an extension of the #rustcrypto effort where a lot of the base code lives and is co-maintained by the wonderful diginifiedquire who also just landed a long awaited sha1-collision detector -- as one of the few people officially allowed to write crypto code :)


How many people do you know that have lost their messaging history on Whatsapp or Signal, photos etc during mobile phone transitions or breakage or through other shenenigans?

With #deltachat you can:

- export "everything" to a file and import it on any of the many different devices

- or just setup a second device through a QR code scan -- which was happily discovered here after an accidental factory reset libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-2…


The last #deltachat 1.44 release round did not only contain a lot of UI/UX milestones but also 20 security fixes based on a deep analysis from Yuanming Song and colleagues of the Applied Cryptography group at ETH Zuerich delta.chat/en/2024-03-25-crypt…


checking #deltachat #iOS 1.44.1 before starting a testflight. no good camera left to take the photo :)

the update comes with quite some long awaited UI fixes - and PUSH notifications got a preview now


#deltachat #iOS 1.44.1 is now available on testflight.apple.com/join/uEMc… - including PUSH notifications showing previews

nb: the preview is generated on the device, using normal message fetch from your server. everything's still end-to-end-encrypted 🔒


Once upon ...

While #DeltaChat #Android paved the way for reactions, #iOS and #Desktop did not stand back with awe!
But ran ahead!
Adding tons more possible reactions than poor #Android that could react with 👍👎❤️😂 or 🙁 only! Mostly with 🙁 :)

... but now #DeltaChat #Android catches up, allowing all the things as well :)


#deltachat just got four major usability improvements as the 1.44 releases are rolling out
💗 Reactions on all platforms
💗 iOS Push notifications
💗 Multi-account desktop sidebar
💗 share invite links via other messengers. Enjoy :)

Reclaiming Peer-to-Peer Web technology with #webxdc out of the ashes of "Web3": our 2024 opening post on the topic :) delta.chat/en/2024-02-15-webxd…

Psst: we are looking for more folks experienced with Web app development with a knack for P2P technology .... #deltachat


🔔 The next version will also bring multi account notifications to desktop.

🔕 You will also be able to mute accounts so you don't need to mute all chats by hand in your casual mailing list account.

For macOS users we removed the window titlebar, inspired by a popular proprietary gaming chat app. I think it looks quite cool now 😄

#deltachat #deltachat_desktop


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).


Working on a more usable multi-account experience in #deltachat_desktop

In the future versions you will be able to switch between accounts more easily while staying informed about new messages from all accounts.

> Leider steht uns gegenwärtig keine Möglichkeit offen, Threema Push für iOS zu implementieren, doch wir hoffen, dass Apple die Einschränkungen, welche das verhindern, überdenken wird.

Das hätte #deltachat auch gerne. Es existiert eine api um eigene push notification services zu machen, aber die ist nur auf hardcoded private LTE/WIFI Netzwerk ids limitiert:

developer.apple.com/documentat…

Kann auch sein dass ich das missverstehe, aber das scheint zu sein was wir wollen.


@DrMarkussi @wuethrich @98e028dw Naja, man kann jetzt ja darüber streiten, ob #briar unsicher ist, weil es z.B. anders als #DeltaChat kein iOS Client, keine SprachNachrichten und keine MuktiDevice Funktion hat... Oder ob es nicht vielleicht genau andersrum ist ;-) Aber witziger Ansatz mit den Punkten um das irgendwie zu ranken.


Today, we are unveiling chatmail services, making onboarding with #deltachat a breeze, with peace of mind.

#chatmail marks a major milestone, answering the practical question of "where can i get a deltachat-ready account" for myself and friends?

Friends from #iroh released dumbpipe.dev today.

A simple pipe to pipe bytes over the network leveraging #iroh_net.

#iroh_net also powers the simple multi device setup that we have in #deltachat. (youtube.com/watch?v=E-e758AYkm…)

#deltachat is the most universal among them 💌


even though "Add Second Device" is still marked as being #experimental, it is quite solid and has been field-tested for half a year!

if you ever wanted to know about the underlying technology, here is @flub explaining how #iroh is used in #deltachat -

Release progress at : github.com/deltachat/deltachat…

The update is available everywhere, besides flathub which will take it bit longer. (help appreciated if you want it faster 🙂: github.com/flathub/chat.delta.…).

Do not upgrade yet if you use "mail.163.com", they implement IMAP strangely so a recent optimisation in Delta Chat broke support: github.com/deltachat/deltachat…

The 1.42 app releases are rolling into the stores, providing a major security upgrade that was long in the brewing and testing: guaranteed end-to-end encryption, protecting against compromised servers or networks (MITM attacks). The releases also enable multi-device synchronization of pinned/accepted/blocked/muted chat states, a new global gallery for desktop and many bug fixes and little improvements .... #deltachat delta.chat/en/2023-11-23-jumbo…


Next test release 1.41.4 is out, if everything works we will release the next version 1.42 soon to the websites and the stores.

From one of our wonderful translators: "I wanted to thank all developers of Deltachat for making such an incredible and simple multi-device supporting app! (Yes, I spent 2 days fresh-installing my double-booted main PC, so I really love all the time the multi-device backup option saved me!) You rock! 🤩" .... Shout out to our friends at n0.computer/ who just published hole punch support github.com/n0-computer/iroh/re… .... The lib we use for multi device setup in #deltachat #rust core

I'm happy to announce the release of DeltaTouch, a messenger based on deltachat-core for Ubuntu Touch. It's available in the OpenStore for both xenial and focal: open-store.io/app/deltatouch.l…

Big thanks to @delta for their continued support throughout this journey!

Thanks also to @playforvoices for testing and valuable suggestions.

Last but not least, I would like to thank the UT AppDev community (Maciek, dobey, Jonatan) for always coming up with a solution.
