Hello everyone,

I have discovered SimpleX Chat (nothing to do with XChat or HexChat, or the favorite letter of some dumb billionaire), and it appears being a legit good effort at providing good privacy while retaining “mainstream” usability.

And it has been audited (by one company so far, it seems).

The only concern I have is with regards to battery life (given that it has to maintain roughly as many open connections as you have contacts, AFAICT).

Has anyone here used it? Any opinion?

      It’s just not the same thing… Matrix was designed on the on irc model, it’s meant for “room” conversations at heart. SimpleX, from what I can tell, is much closer to Tox: one to one conversations mainly, and support for groups.
