@delta i would use you ... if you had Perfect Forward Secrecy.
Until them don't expect me to use or recommend your app
@lexinova @delta Message retention more or less negates the benefit of forward secrecy. If an attacker gets your secret key information they for sure are going to get your old messages. Since most people want to keep their old messages around forward secrecy is not very important for encrypted messaging.

@upofadown @delta second red flag (but sadly too often seen on this kind of app) ... ELECTRON, nope thanks i pass have a nice day
@lexinova @upofadown FWIW there are some non-electron clients https://chatmail.at/clients and an upcoming post about an experimental Tauri one. The current #deltachat desktop electron-based client tries to both size-bloat/ram wise do better, and also e.g. bars the frontend rendering process from doing any Internet connections which are purely done via the Rust core library, for all #chatmail clients.
@delta @upofadown oh tauri one i would use it when it go out thanks :)
for once an app is willing to use it :)
@delta @upofadown the issue i have with electron is it's well known catastrophic security
