delta chat is built on top of email, which means it doesnt scale, does not support video or audio chat and is in general very feature limited.

your identity is an email, which means federation and not peer to peer.

delta chat thinks about adding p2p capabilities using "iroh", but iroh is way behind the dat/hyper stwck used by the pare/bare runtime which keet uses and its DHT is just bitcoin mainline from which keets underlying p2p stack upgraded years ago after using it to add holepunching capabilities and better sybil protection...

...so eh, keet is already more secure and more capable than delta chat now and that will only improve in the future.

hyperdrive is used to store all files in keet, which means the stack and the runtime, which is THE REAL innovation here, can be used to build other compatible apps.

peerviewer and https://holesail.io and more than 20 other apps in https://dat-ecosystem.org already make use of that and so shoyld delta chat if they werent misguided imho 🤷‍♀️

after all, iroh is cofounded by former ipfs developers which means filecoin/ethereum shitcoin ecosystem and is funded by a for profit new york based company so it could enshittify fast. its also not the developers who own that company? they are merly employed.

holepunch wqs created and is run by the main developer and the dat ecosystem is a 501c3 public good company with the mandate to keep it open source.


main implementation of the stack is C + jS but alternative implementation in rust exists as well
