I use Delta Chat as my primary IM platform to talk to my wife, friends, and family. It's really a great application and WebXDC is super neat!

I value it so highly that it's one of only three monthly monetary FOSS donations I make.

Does your wife, and do your friends and family all use Delta Chat to chat with you or their own mail clients?

They all use Delta Chat. I self-hosted a non-federated Matrix server for ~3 years, but once I found Delta Chat (a little over a year ago) I asked everyone to transition over to using it to stay in contact with me. About 15 people in total, I haven't heard any complaints and it works great.

WebXDC sounds fun, could you tell more about the use-cases you found?

Mostly games! Porting any FOSS web game that has a score mechanic or can be made asynchronous to WebXDC is straightforward and fun.

There are a few utility apps like TODO and Calendar that we use too.
