I like @delta but user experience is far from the one it should because it’s not, and it doesn’t feels native on any platform. Maybe Swift would be the best option here, considering it works on all platforms and SwiftUI is native on Apple and there’s SwiftGTK

@pancake delta chat doesn't feel native on Android and iOS for you? Or do you mean desktop platforms?
@delta correct, on iOS, the app is not using the iOS26 liquid glass widgets and the icons, animations, etc.. look clunky, i don't use Android, but i can say similar things about gnome and macos ux
@pancake wasn't liquid glass only introduced last year from apple?
@delta @pancake yeah but remember the "premium" apps all get updated to the latest iOS standards quickly after WWDC, tested on the iOS betas, and ready in the app store the instant the new major iOS release happens.
honestly that sounds like torture to me because of how much Apple changes every major update

@feld @delta deltachat for iOS is written in Swift, but it’s not yer using the liquidglass widgets for whatever reason. The git is 6 releases ahead of the one in the appstore. There’s a testflight link in github. But from what it reads in the commits seems like there’s some plans for liquidglass. The desktop version is just “electron” afaik.
