#autocrypt works with K9 on android and with enigmail for Thunderbird btw. Just to provide the 110% certainty ? here:

Also, users in repressive states seem to have more problems with necessary phone numbers – exposing them on a new level. Delta-Chat relies only on internet connectivity and it is easy to setup throw-away-accounts.

Great overview. This might be just what i've been looking for to replace SMS and facebook messenger.

I love the fact that it uses the largest federated network to date, email:) People understand it, most people have one, and it's available to download in the apple store and playstore. Autocrypt, automagic ecryption when the other party also uses deltachat... love it!!!

I use NextCloud to take notes, it has an app that is using NextCloud (a folder there that you can again synchronize with any NC client) to store simple text-based notes. Sure there is some room for improvement like having mark-down code in it.

I'm guessing it's preferable to have a seperate email for deltachat, no? With the spammy word and sentences long messages in chat it's probably quite spammy when doing more organizational stuff.

Seems like a super tool. Something I'd definately have to get into.
