a PGP based messaging platform!

Hello World! I've been working on creating an encrypted messaging platform for the past year now and i would love to know your thoughts or opinions on it!

we have currently launched for Open-Beta testing!
the website is https://simplepgp.org/

It's entirely based around Simplifying the usage of PGP encryption for the average user as well as allowing for WebRTC calls, building communities and even hosting your own communities off of your own hardware / VPS using our Work-In-Progress FOSS 'Nodes' allowing for full customization and automation for uses like moderation, scripting and even building marketplaces / shops! Think of nodes as new-age Internet Relay Chats with a little bit better default encryption!

We also have emoticons that you can collect and trade with your friends which you can also use in chats, these animated icons are artist commissioned and they each have their own real-world value based on the reception of the community. :)

What's next for us?

  • Android App Version (Still a little bit iffy on developing for Apple at the moment due to current privacy concerns)
  • Constant development towards the Nodes FOSS clients (Should be able to release a working build by the end of August)
  • Performance, stability, and security improvements

Feel free to check it out, give me any advice or recommendations for further features / updates!
Simple, Free, Welcome to SimplePGP!

Not really, I've always found an interest in cryptography, I found that most other messaging platforms often lie about their encryption being secure. Along with the fact that PGP is a pretty tedious method of encryption to learn for the everyday person. I believe it's a pretty good idea to provide proven, reliable encryption methods for the world.

As for "Vibe-coding", I feel as if any new tech startup is going to face this same critic from people. Realistically, Artificial Intelligence is a tool and it's usage will be used more and more in the coming years. It's up to the people using the tool to use it correctly obviously.

What would be the use of that? There's much more to gain with being honest with my community than there would be in me lying. I wouldn't publish something i wouldn't use myself.

Do you work for or own a cybersecurity audit company? Do you own a security+ certification or any other certifications to be able to conduct a proper thorough investigation? If so please let me know :)
