This is the first time I’ve heard of #simplex chat . It sounds a lot like what Threema does. I was asked about it when I suggested using DeltaChat or ArcaneChat.

What do you think about it?

C'est la première fois que j'entends parler de SimpleX chat. De ce que j'en lis ça ressemble à ce que propose Threema. On m'a interrogé sur le sujet lorsque j'ai proposé d'utiliser DeltaChat ou ArcaneChat.

Vous en pensez quoi?
