So because I have gone temporarily off my rocker, I'm working on an client using 10 and WPF, with artalk-xmpp for XMPP, libsignal for , and prism for screen reader output where needed. I'm only an evening into it, and I can already tell that OMEMO is going to be the source of complicated, inexplicable, and unreproducible bug reports for decades to come. It's still not as overcomplicated as , though.

@feld But it’s an electron app. With no open standards process to develop a third party implementation. So if deltachat decides to stop caring about accessibility some day, I’m screwed. They control the protocol from end to end. If it’s not an open standard I’m not interested. I’ve been betrayed by too many organizations at this point. Especially nonprofit open source ones.
