@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... i can appreciate that dilemma. for the newcomer, dropping 7-20$ on an app just to test often isn't reasonable or at least not a priority when signal/whatsapp/etc "just works".
but hey, many of us technical people are on xmpp (or dual like me on
#deltachat) so we can still keep in touch.
btw what xmpp server are you running? i'm fleshing out an implementation based on an xmpp-go setup i found on github since i'm sort of obsessed with go. :-)
