I believe Threema is more focused on business messaging these days. My employer recently qualified it as our official mobile messenger.
Providing an Open Source client seems no goal anymore.
What all the other messengers should copy is their poll feature [0]. It can basically act as an integrated Doodle.

- dbrgn 8y agoThreema puts more focus on business customers than in the past (as it's more sustainable than one-time payments, there are no external investors). But the business app is still fundamentally the same as the "private" app, just with management/configuration features added. Private users are not second class citizens. Regarding open source, the app isn't unfortunately. But the crypto (based on NaCl by djb) is documented[1], has been audited[2], has been reverse engineered twice[3][4] and there is an alternative client implementation[5].
