Hello everyone,

I have discovered SimpleX Chat (nothing to do with XChat or HexChat, or the favorite letter of some dumb billionaire), and it appears being a legit good effort at providing good privacy while retaining “mainstream” usability.

And it has been audited (by one company so far, it seems).

The only concern I have is with regards to battery life (given that it has to maintain roughly as many open connections as you have contacts, AFAICT).

Has anyone here used it? Any opinion?

      Ooh, I forgot, I tried Jami, back when it was called Ring. Probably has changed since, I’ll give it another go.

      Edit: I did, and here is what it looks like:

      Not saying I’m gonna uninstall it right away, but I am not too sure what the only button says (I assume “start a chat” or something - it doesn’t scroll), and that doesn’t bode well for the rest… 🙃
