Me encanta, el correo electrónico quedó obsoleto

What worries me is the fact that simplex is VC-backed. That comes with a ton of pressures and one commitment - profit. You can't stay ethical if profit is a focus and one has a board to answer to.

It being open-source isn't a silver-bullet either, I can only imagine, if the time comes, when a fork is necessary and the amount of friction that'll cause for both users as well as server self-hosters.

i was thinking about reimplementing the protocol in rust just to learn it.

emailx

Discord client that doesn’t collect data

You mean: smtp adapter to notes websocket event or a view for events that look like email, but are in fact kind1 notes?

Slack alternative may be?

What’s simplex?
