Decentralized Encrypted P2P Chat
Decentralized Encrypted P2P Chat
Id like to introduce you to a decentralized chat app that works purely in the browser. Breaking away from traditional solutions that require registration and installation.
A decentralized infrastructure has many unique challenges and this is a unique approach. Ive taken previsous feedback and made updates. Its important to note, it is still a work-in-progress and provided for testing/review/feedback purposes. it would be great if you can tell me what you think.
Some of the features of the app include:
- Free
- Decentralised
- No cookies
- P2P encrypted
- No registration
- No installing
- Group messaging
- Text messaging
- Multimedia messaging
- Offline messaging (LAN/hotspot)
- File transfer
- Video calls
- Data-ownership
- Selfhosted (optional)
- Screensharing (on desktop browsers)
- OS notifications (where supported)
With no registration or installation required, its easy to get started.
I have two rhetorical questions:
- are modern devs really unable to do something that work NOT in the browser?
- why every dev is about to invent its own - incompatible with the whole other world - protocol?
Is there a description of the protocol somewhere?
it isnt defined well enough to be documented. it is using a combination of the details found in the following links. the project in general, is lacking documentation because it is low prio for me.
Curious how this is distinct from SimpleX.
its been compared to simplex before im sure there are some similarities. its important to note that i want to make the app more accessible to users by providing it as a webapp. this allows for things like easier network inspection.
Reads like XMPP.
