Right - ran a search and got no results, so am asking directly

This thing any good? Anyone run it?

Use case: want to give my kid a SEVERELY locked down Moto E (2nd gen) as a Youtube music player device and a “message Daddy” app - strictly wifi / in house only.

The first thing is simple enough. The second thing is…interesting.

I had my local AI do some research and it spat out the above. I don’t think it’s quite right but It looks interesting. Any one use it / can comment? Failing that, can anyone recommend a simple WLAN messaging app that will run on Android 6 / lineageOS? I’m sure I can dig one up but if someone has one running, I’m all ears.

PS: I’m not looking at using a VPS for this…but the above did catch my attention as fairly normie friendly. Might be worth self hosting something like that…

    Go for deltachat or arcanechat, both are compatible. Actually floss, decentralized, secure, self-hostable (but you don’t need to), doesn’t need phone numbers or id or whatevs
