since the image of the attached contact can be an small cut (not full screenshot) maybe also include a small cut of the "attachment selector" area where the "attach contact" button is for better context on how to attach a contact

wow, really nice blog post, the featured image looks a bit empty, maybe the other screenshot of "new profile" screen is more interesting to show there? (but the one from the screenshot that @r10s shared, with an avatar image set)

Nobody wants or needs more accounts these days
so let us tell you about "Chat profiles".

Hm... I'd be careful with making such a statement. If nobody needs more accounts, why are we creating one in the background? We just rename most of the account functionality to "profile", but we can't say that no accounts are involved... this just raises the wrong hopes and questions.

## Maybe try out chatting with some bots?

Once Delta Chat is installed,
you can tap [this "Public Bots" link](https://i.delta.chat/#9AF055DB87EC48A1C009B6CA55E3712A6F7D346F&a=botsindex%40nine.testrun.org&n=Public%20Bots&i=QpBSronexvP&s=nAfQ0q_JomN)

I tried the "open chat" button/link on desktop while I had delta chat open, but nothing happened. opening the same link on android did the trick, but others might not know to try that.

there's a bit of a risk that readers might interpret "Bots" as referring to "LLM chat bots", which are becoming quite unpopular with certain crowds. it might be worthwhile to clarify that these are interactive services accessed through a chat interface?

actually there are also LLM chat bots among them

[[email protected] bot](https://i.delta.chat/#66B77A4C5F57A670D6E86C0767F00812105D9374&a=echo%40nine.testrun.org&n=&i=m6rDyxHRShX&s=Ta7TL-JufhZ) and observe the echo reply arriving quickly.

- Checkout [a "Public Bots" index bot](https://i.delta.chat/#9AF055DB87EC48A1C009B6CA55E3712A6F7D346F&a=botsindex%40nine.testrun.org&n=Public%20Bots&i=QpBSronexvP&s=nAfQ0q_JomN)
to receive a little web app to view and start interacting with a selection of yet more bots.

maybe "in-chat app" instead of web app to make clear this is not some old school web page in browser
