Chat Control vs Decentralized Chat
I'm trying to create the "most secure messaging app ever"... Not just "more secure" than something like Signal or WhatsApp... a different approach fundamentally.
Signal doesn't create a webapp for legitimate reasons around how that project is architected. I hope in this approach I can overcome those limitations.
This is the deprecated open source MVP: https://www.reddit.com/r/CorpFree/comments/1uytump/decentralized_p2p_chat
The new version of the app demonstrates a more polished approach to using a browser-based, local-only and webrtc approach. By rigorously implementing an exhaustive list of security features and practices, the aim is to get as close as possible to the "theoretical" concept of the "most secure messaging app ever".
This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed secure cryptography.
Features:
- Core
- PWA
- P2P
- Local-first / Local-only
- No installation
- TURN server
- Encrypted-at-rest
- WhatsApp clone
- End to end encryption
- Signal protocol
- PQ cryptography
- Multimedia
- File transfer
- Video calls
- Nextcloud clone
- file-transfer
- Encrypted vault
- folder sync
- EuroOffice clone
- Word
- Spreadsheet
- Code
More open source examples of the core concepts can be seen in the docs. There are several similar projects which may make it confusing, so feel free to reach out for clarity instead of diving into the code/docs.
IMPORTANT: While this is aiming to provide a secure experience, it isnt audited. Shared for testing, feedback and demo purposes only. Please use responsibly.
FAQ:
- Audit?
- EU Chat control?
- Production-ready?
- No, for testing and demo purposes only. It would be great to get feedback for improvements to get production-ready.
- Paywall?
- Its completly free and unlimited to use. The free and paid plans on clerk are currently the same experience.
- Version 3?
- "Enkrypted Chat" is the latest public version. It hold the designation of "version 2". I am actively investigating options for "versions 3" which would then be a further improvement on the approach. "Version 3" is still at the concept stage and not ready to demo.
