    If I recall correctly, SimpleX came out of the development of a file-transfer protocol, similar to torrenting.

    It’s been probably a year since I read up on what they were doing, and I’ve been running it on a couple devices.

    I keep it around as a backup chat tool. Sadly I can’t get people away from SMS, but I also use Signal and Telegram. Each has its pros and cons.

      Interesting. They appear to be developing chat and file transfer functionality simultaneously, but separately… I think you can use one without the other. If you like command line tools, they have you covered… Outside of the surprisingly polished (if incomplete) mobile and desktop apps, it sure does look fun to play with.
