Isn't that just email then? I mean I guess you could wrap a bubbly UI around it, but you're not getting around the latency and spam. Those seem like dealbreakers to me.

Latency isn’t that much of an issue. There might be greylisting for the initial message, but once the receiving server knows you, it’s pretty usable. And since everything is an email, you can “chat” with people that don’t use DeltaChat and they can reply using their normal email program. If you’re not using encryption, that is.

I do like that last part. Still, it would be difficult to have a contemporaneous conversation that way.

DeltaChat supposedly does that but I've never tried to interoperate it with email

Deltachat moved away from email, to their own protocol called chatmail

Isn’t that still email/SMTP under the hood - just optimised for fast delivery?
