Telegram frontend, Signal backend?
Telegram frontend, Signal backend?
Hi. Is there an app that uses the Telegram client and all its cool features but uses end-to-end encryption by default? Imagine using Telegram with the Signal protocol - or even better - with the Matrix protocol. That would be so awesome. Most messaging apps, even WhatsApp, lack sooo many great features. Now imagine someone actually recreating the entire server from Telegram, making everything end-to-end encrypted and decentralized (federated/P2P).
You could keep an eye on this: https://moxxy.org/
It's a new work in progress XMPP client that uses the newest e2ee OMEMO standard (based on Signal but better) and the UI is a bit similar to Telegram.
However it is still a heavy work in progress, so right now I can't really say it is ready to use.
I took a look and didn't see any big differences with the "conversations" app. Is there any reason to go with moxxy over conversations?
?
It has a significantly more modern and Telegram like UI (based on Flutter), which is what the OP asked for.
You can use Telegram or Signal with Matrix (kinda), but it loses E2EE encryption, so it loses the propose of privacy.
Good for linking communities, bad for privacy.
Such thing for Signal/Telegram didn't see it, but it will have the same issue with E2EE
Take a look at simplex.chat
Unfortunately, SimpleX Chat are only terminal based on desktop.
