I think the only remaining feature I care about in #DeltaChat is better support for large attachments but that's a harder problem.

The comfy feature I'd like but has security implications would be link previews. There's a bot you can add to a group chat which will produce the "quick view" or whatever of a page which is a static HTML snapshot but traditional link previews are nicer as it's rendered as part of the original message.

Besides the security implications of it there's also the uphill battle of sites breaking link previews because of AI scraping concerns so they whitelist iMessage/WhatsApp/Telegram access which screws everyone else over. I see it with Pleroma sometimes -- links won't get a preview because they 403/404 or just don't include the meta tags
both topics remain under discussion FWIW, and have some prospective implementation path. Large files could be transferred via @n0iroh which is already integrated but this is only provides for the start of a discussion that we typically don't entertain in public but in our nested maze of chat groups and in real-life gatherings ...
as to link-previews, it's likely we generat them on the sender-side so there shouldn't be rate-limits or privacy issues (as opposed to a bot solution).
