[Delta Chat](https://delta.chat/en/) is the premier waiting room to be in until
the [big boys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tech) end their chat
app/protocol wars. What does it do? It turns your email into a full blown chat
application. Yes... it's an email messenger.

I was finally able to smoothly convert my last [Signal](https://signal.org/en/)
contact. To persuade others, first prioritize email communication ---
ruthlessly. Then say: "Who in the world wants `10+` chat apps to talk to
everyone?" If there's agreement --- you win ;-)
