Played with Delta Chat. I like it conceptually, and I'm pretty impressed overall with the maturity. Just a couple of things missing for real Signal-alternative level for me:

Rich text (markdown) support
Calls in groups
Moderation in Groups of any kind

Even so, I'm going to use Delta as a fallback in the event of a Signal outage.

@mttaggart This app fits with the email client? You'll have to give it your email password, from the looks of it. Is that right?

I looked up some more info about it.

@AAKL Nope! That's not right.

It uses email as a protocol, but you don't give it your email information at all.

Uses this: https://chatmail.at

@mttaggart @AAKL

If you use regular email, you'll need to provide your email address and password (app-specific password). If you use chatmail, a random address is generated.

Both look crooked and bad.

@mttaggart Same plan. It was easy to set up, it seems to work decently, and it's got time to add features. Signal took a while to roll out features as well so not going to ding Delta for that yet.
