SimpleX Chat review
If I’m planning a shoot with a new photographer, I’d rather move the conversation to a chat without handing over my personal number. In SimpleX Chat I can send them a one-time invitation through a channel we already use. They’ll need the app too.
Give one person their own link
When I make an invitation, I can pick the profile I want to share. The Incognito option sends a random profile name and keeps my usual profile name and photo out of that connection. Anyone who gets the invitation first can use it, so I’d send it privately and confirm with the photographer through our original conversation before sending call times or other details.
A public contact link works differently
An optional SimpleX address can sit on a contact page. More than one person can use it, and I can accept or decline each request if I leave automatic acceptance off. If I remove the address, people I’ve already accepted can still message me.
Image Angel helps trace a copy when an integrated platform distributes a watermarked video. SimpleX helps me decide how to open a conversation. Once I send something, the other person can still keep a copy.
Anabel’s take
I’d start with an invitation for a collaborator I’ve already spoken to. A reusable address makes sense only when I actually want new people to be able to reach me.
