Deltachat #21

Closed sdgathman closed 2 years ago

Rather than build a new protocol like the Matrix project, Deltachat builds a rich messaging app around one of the oldest protocols, SMTP. A benefit is that you can talk to anyone with an email. Adding a tiny local SMTP server (e.g. opensmtpd) makes this app fully decentralized, but it should be listed as federated - because it doesn't include a server out of the box.

Awesome project, I didn't know about it! I added it to the list now. Thanks for sharing!
