Elbow out of commission 😞. Could do squats instead 🤷‍♂️

GM. Looking for some energy. What do you have for me 🧐?

You can add layers to a protocol definition, but it's nearly impossible to "fix" a protocol.

Email is what it is, you've been able to layer on PGP encryption since its inception in 1991, but most people don't.

So generally it's better to start with a protocol that is built from scratch with the features you want.

Like NOSTR?

pro tip: if you eat a lot of meat then you should do a parasite cleansing once per year. Nobody wants to feed a foot-long tapeworm and you can live with them for years without noticing.

Be aware, I just have imagination, not skills,... Hence the possibly moronic takes 🤣🤭😅

you just told me nothing.

real life is not a chat app. real life chatting is in person, only.

That is the (far fetched and pure fictional) idea: you send a portal. Like a door to the receiver. GMail f.e. can see the door, but not what goes on behind the door.

To see what goes on, receiver opens the door ( like a PWA URL?) Interacts through that portal, via encrypted channel... Afterwards closes the door... (Remove all temporary files and PWA history).

The PWA is where your magic happens, but for the receiver it is just like getting a mail, only that the back and forth is in the channel.

If you can have the service send a recap with the elements you want to keep as a follow up mail(non sensitive data, just as a reminder,... Meeting notes like)

Yes, it's a protocol, not a company or platform, the same as NOSTR.

You don't need permission to use it, and nobody can stop you.

Caveats: Individual mail providers can ban you and spam filters may block you and encryption is limited.

pretty much what you said is i. I can't think of anything else other than emails are like mail IRL so each one is self contained which is basically a rewording of what you already said. 🤣

chats are throw-away little snippets of conversation and not really conducive to long writing, I'd add. personally I always set them to auto delete in a week.

(I like having both of these ways because they both have a purpose and appropriate uses based on what is being discussed. I also don't really want my email mixed with Nostr because I'd rather not have everything in one system.)

GM.

I guess the benefit of email is that it has become an agnostic protocol that can interact with almost any client?

Ideally you want to send a mail that opens as a gateway into a secure chat on any mail client and then removes the whole chat (cleaning up unnecessary and sensitive data), while leaving behind the key notes you wanted to chat about 😁

Combine security (temporary chat channel) through usability (remove need to install yet another client).

Not that this is feasible, but I didn't read that requirement 🤭
