Apart from the new #Gnome effort, there also is an interesting experiment of a #Rust terminal-client with #Ratatui -- for others to start from should they feel they need some enjoyable distraction :)

#Chatmail clients typically use the Rust core library which provides all networking, cryptography, persistence, real-time networking, mail relay/server interop. Documentation to help with writing clients is scattered, but at least there are plenty examples to learn from.

Out of curiosity, is there any hope of a web browser based client? Would that even be feasible? I'm asking because a friend doesn't want to consider Delta if it means yet another desktop app, but would be OK with another tab in the browser window they always have anyway.

@liw actually, if you ask so directly: we've heart rumors of a web client beginning to work, but it's a very wild project we won't point to, yet. Quite obviously,. there are challenges around E2EE and security when doing a chatmail web client. Stay tuned :)

@Delta Chat Love the name on the terminal, geeks and nerds have far too much fun naming things
