Briar is really interesting from the PoV of its forum and blog features, that try to use the messaging platform as infrastructure to build private services.
There's a lot of discussion about alternatives here so I'm going to drop one more: https://cwtch.im https://cwtch.im
It has wider range of clients and some unique features, like the ability to run multiple, password protected identities trivially, to appear online selectively.
- 9dev 2y agoSounds like a cool project, but the name is such a bad idea, despite the cleverness of word choice. An app for a niche use case has it hard enough, doesn’t help that nobody can spell correctly even when reading it.
- maqp 2y agoOh Cwtch is like Cutch, and like the project says, the word rhymes with "butch".
- zelphirkalt 2y agoI just wish one could delete or edit on briar's forums. Without that, I feel like I have to be super careful not to make a mistake, if I want an orderly forum. Also in latest versions the ability to fold forum threads is gone? Makes forums annoying to read. The indentation for a sublevel being sooo thin also doesn't help at all.
