While all of that is great and true it’s almost irrelevant because adding gif support doesn’t hamstring the privacy of the application.

SimpleX is newer, has arguably better privacy and already supports gif keyboards etc…

I use them both honestly, but I wouldn’t pretend missing some basic features is because of some higher privacy principle.

I’m going to have to look into that, thanks for the heads up!

Mainly trying both of them out for a bit to figure out which I prefer.

I actually wrote MinimalGPT as a project for myself because I found using ChatGPT annoying for certain things.

It’s just a minimal chat client where you provide an OpenAI API key for GPT and you’re off to the races.

Conversations and all data (besides the messages you send to OpenAI) are stored locally to your browser.

https://minimalgpt.app, it’s also a PWA application so you can save it to your mobile Home Screen for a full app experience.

GitHub Repo with a fleshed out readme for more info.

It’s a great audio library system, I use PodGrab to subscribe to podcasts and download them and AudioBookshelf for playback and organization etc…

Correct!

I prefer SimpleX to Signal, Telegram and Matrix tbh.

While PWA sites are nice I’ve never personally used one that felt as good or as consistent as a native application.

As much as my web dev heart would love to say they were haha.
