Delta Chat Dec 7

A few things #deltachat apps are doing positively different from #Signal apps

- easiest onboarding ever; not depending on phone numbers or other private data

- support for multiple chat profiles/identities

- decentralized servers, not depending on US-based GAFAM etc.

- migration from one app/platform to any other

- easy multi-device support for any chat profile

- developers have chances to get their PRs merged :)

- mini-apps support via https://webxdc.org

anything missing?

Webxdc: mini apps shared in a chat

Secure mini apps for chats. No internet access, no tracking, no servers.

Please boost. Next week there will be (another) decision!
