  1. PRO TIP for the projects and startups out there:

    don't invest too much time and money in fancy roadmaps bigger than a RPG skills thread of a future that might never come

    roadmap 1: oxen.io/roadmap
    roadmap 2; token.getsession.org/roadmap

  2. Keep in contact with colleagues without having to give your phone number

    With you can also keep separated profiles, one for family and more intimate friends and other for people you don't have so close relation with

  3. Looking at Moji, an Emoji-only Chat App

    A look at Max Glenister’s emoji-only Moji chat app, which he created in a weekend for his young daughter to enjoy.

  4. Ah yes, because what the world desperately needed was yet another chat app, but this time sprinkled with ✨ownership✨ and a hint of #open-source sanctimony. 🤦‍♂️ Meanwhile, AT Protocol is just waiting for its invitation to the party that never started. 🥳🔧

    Secure decentralized P2P messaging PWA

    Progress update:

    - UI improvements throughout
    - Passkey-based encrypted data at rest.
    - Introducing giphy integration
    - Bug fixes throughout

    NOTE: This is still a work-in-progress and a close-source project. Its far from finished and doesnt have the user-experience needed to promote the project to a wider audience. The implementation is based on the open source MVP seen here: github.com/positive-intentions. It has NOT been audited or reviewed. For testing purposes only, not a replacement for your current messaging app.

  6. Want E2E encrypted messages and video calls with no downloads, no sign-ups and no tracking?

    This prototype uses webRTC to establish a secure browser-to-browser connection. Everything is ephemeral and cleared when you refresh the page—true zerodata privacy!

    Check out the pre-release demo here: p2p.positive-intentions.com/if

    (For those who have seen it before, i've added fixes and improvements throughout, so it might still be worth checking out)

  8. Oh, look! Another tech bro discovering a glorified chat app and calling it revolutionary 🥳. Claude Code: because who doesn't love jumping through hoops just to see a diff? 😂 Keep the #innovation coming, guys! 🥴

  9. E2EE P2P Messaging App

    I recently introduced [metered.ca](metered.ca) for the STUN/TURN servers and the stability has hugely improved and so i'd like to ask for your feedback if you'd like to try it out.

    Demo: p2p.positive-intentions.com/if

    Data isnt persisted (yet), so each page refresh will clear all keys.

    (IMPORTANT: For testing and demo purposes only. This is a work-in-progress and far from finished. It has not been reviewed or audited. Do not use it for sensitive data.)

  10. Ah, yes, because what the world truly needed was yet another chat app, but this time with the groundbreaking feature of Morse code over #WebSockets 🚀. Imagine the thrilling efficiency of tapping out your messages in dots and dashes—finally, a way to slow #communication to a crawl in the digital age 😅. But hey, at least it's one step closer to making semaphore the next big thing in tech! 🏴‍☠️

  11. Pretty fascinating - can a chat app with a #Tamil name really be a threat to #Whatsapp's dominance at the #chatapp in #India

    Of course, I'd rather see the government mandate a secure, interoperable standard that wouldn't force anyone onto a single platform - and promote resiliency, but that's sadly far outside the realm of possibility these days.

  12. Want to send messages and video calls with:

    * no installs
    * no sign-ups
    * no tracking
    * end-to-end encryption

    This new prototype uses PeerJS to establish a secure browser-to-browser connection. Everything is ephemeral and cleared when you refresh the page—true zerodata privacy!

    Check out the [testable demo here](p2p.positive-intentions.com/if).

    I am working towards a look-and-feel to match Whatsapp as seen in this [hardcoded UI demo](glitr.positive-intentions.com).

  15. Async Bottom-Up Javascript State Management

    positive-intentions.com/blog/a

    This investigation comes from my work on a #P2P #ChatApp. I found it tricky in a #FunctionalProgramming approach to handle #Async #Messages from peers needing the latest #State values. The challenge? How #JavaScript scopes variables in #Callbacks.

    I wanted to explore a solution out of curiosity to see if it could work. I'm not trying to push "yet another #StateManagement library." This is about my #LearningProcess for use in #PersonalProjects.

  16. id like to share some details about how my app works so you can discover/give me feedback on my app. id like to have wording in my app to say something like "most secure chat app in the world"... i probably cant do that because it doesnt qualify.

    github.com/positive-intentions

    positive-intentions.com/blog/i

    im not an expert on #cyberSecurity. im sure there are many gaps in my knowlege in this domain.

    using #javascript, i initially created a fairly basic #chatApp using using #peerjs to create #encrypted #webrtc #connections. this was then easily enhanced by exchanging additional #encryption #keys from #cryptography functions built into browsers (#webcrypto api) to add a redundent layer of encryption. a #diffieHelman key #exchange is done over #webrtc (which can be considered #secure when exchanged over public channels) to create #serverless #p2p #authentication.

    - i sometimes recieve feedback like "javascript is inherently insecure". i disagree with this and have #openedSource my #cryptography module. its basically a thin wrapper around vanilla cryptography functions of a #browser (webcrypto api).

    - another concern for my kind of app (#PWA) is that the developer may introduce malicious code. this is an important point for which i open sourced the project and give instructions for #selfhosting. selhosting this app has some unique features. unlike many other #selfhosted #projects, this app can be hosted on #githubPages (instructions are provided in the readme). im also working towards having better support for running the index.html directly without a static server.

    - to prevent things like browser extensions, the app uses strict #CSP headers to prevent #unauthorised code from running. #selfhosting users should take note of this when setting up their own instance.

    - i received feedback the #Signal/#Simplex protocol is great. completely undertsandable and agree, but wonder if im reducing the #complexity by working with #webrtc. while it has its many flaws, i think risks can be reasonable mitigated if the #cryptography functions are implemented correctly. (all data out is #encrypted and all data in is #decrypted on-the-fly)

    - the key detail that makes this approach unique, is because as a #webapp, unlike other solutions, users have a choice of using any #device/#os/#browser. while a webapp can have nuanced #vulnerabilities, i think by #openSourcing and providing instructions for #selfhosting and instructions to #build for various #platforms, it can provide a reasonable level of #security.

    i think if i stick to the principle of avoiding using any kind of "required" service provider (myself included) and allowing the #frontend and the peerjs-server to be #hosted #independently, im on track for creating a #chatSystem with the "fewest moving parts". i hope you will agree this is true #p2p and i hope i can use this as a step towards true #privacy and #security. #security might be further improved by using a trusted #VPN.

    while there are several similar apps out there like mine. i think mine is distinctly a different approach. so its hard to find #bestPractices for the functionalities i want to achieve. in particular #security practices to use when using #p2p technology.

    (note: this app is an #unstable, #experiment, #proofOfConcept and not ready to replace any other app or service. It's far from finished and provided for #testing and #demo purposes only. This post is to get #feedback on the progress to determine if i'm going in the right direction for a secure chat app)

  17. Tilda и чат-бот: пример интеграции

    Привет, друзья! Сегодня мы поговорим о том, как добиться эффективной обработки заказов, оформленных на сайте стандартного интернет-магазина на Tilda. Я на примере своего проекта (интернет-магазин карликовых кроликов) расскажу, почему менеджерам неудобно работать с заявками, которые приходят из Tilda напрямую, а также покажу, как можно подключить к обработке заказов чат-бота на примере сервиса ChatApp. Мы поговорим о принципе этой интеграции (то есть о механизме веб-хука) и о проверенных на практике сценариях использования бота. Статья будет полезна тем, у кого уже есть сайт на Tilda (или скоро будет), и кто хочет автоматизировать коммуникацию так, чтобы она была комфортна и заказчику, и менеджерам, и конечно, владельцу проекта. Узнать, как конкретно...
