  1. Decentralized browser-based P2P E2EE messaging.

    The key detail that sets this apart from other messaging apps is the browser-based client-side cryptography philosophy.

    No need to install anything. Your ID is crypto-random and so the app doesnt need to rely on any central registration system like phone numbers. Your ID is unguessable and to connect to someone, you have to explicitly share it.

    WebRTC has other nuances like being to route through a shared network for secure/faster transfer.

    I hope this project has reached a level i can share the following details. I've made a genuine effort towards documentation and transparancy. I dont think it'll ever be enough and so im still concerned it isnt ready to share. While im using AI throughout. This is not a vibecoded project. There is attention throughout for unit tests and formal-verification. With your feedback, id like to make improvements for clarity throughout.

    This version of the app demonstrates a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-only and webrtc approach. I know it's impossible for any system to be the "world's most secure", but that isnt a reason to not try. By rigorously implementing an exhaustive list of security features and practices, the aim is to get as close as possible.

    This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed secure cryptography.

    I know ive tried to compress a lot of my journey into one post. The project above is going to be tricky to understand. Feel free to reach out for clarity on any of the details.

  2. Oh, look! Another *revolutionary* idea: let users decide where their data goes! 🚀 Because who wouldn't want the privilege of navigating the labyrinth of BaaS, triplestores, and serverless authorization? 🙄 Meanwhile, GitHub's throwing AI and automation at everything, apparently hoping we'll all just forget what real development looks like. 🤖🔧

  3. WHERE OTHERS LOSE CONTROL – WE STAY IN THE LOOP.

    At Infinito.Nexus, we believe that AI should never replace human judgment. We are the captains. AI is our navigator. While others hand over responsibility to black-box systems, we stay in control. We design the architecture, review the code, verify every deployment, and make the decisions that shape the future of the systems we build. AI is one of the most powerful tools ever created. But it remains a tool. We are the engineers, architects, and craftsmen who use it to build sovereign digital infrastructure faster, more reliably, and at a scale that was impossible only a few years ago. […]

  4. Moje dane są wreszcie moje.

    Rzeczywiście, pełna decentralizacja wymaga tu ustępstw, ale moje podejście to świadomy wybór:

    DeepSeek – używam tylko do zaawansowanych zadań (obliczenia, kodowanie), bez danych prywatnych, z wyłączonym treningiem modelu i bez skanowania dokumentów
    Facebook/Messenger – Facebook stopniowo zamieniam na Mastodona, ale znajomi jeszcze tam są, więc Messenger niestety pozostaje
    Przeglądarki – zarówno Quiche jak i Brave to WebKit pod spodem, ale przynajmniej Quiche jest transparentny

    Dodatkowa warstwa ochrony: Wszystkie aplikacje mają wyłączone śledzenie, dostęp do lokalizacji i Siri. Dodatkowo używam NextDNS do filtrowania na poziomie DNS.

    To nie jest idealne, ale każdy krok w kierunku privacy ma znaczenie. Kompromisy są nieuniknione na iOS, ale świadomy wybór i wiele warstw ochrony to rzeczywiście robi różnicę.

  5. The "privacy" you think you have in Malaysia is an illusion.

    Authorities have a legal backdoor into your entire digital existence. Under Section 249 of the Communications & Multimedia Act (CMA), police can demand your passwords, PINs, or biometrics during an investigation.

    Here is the creepy part: Refusing to unlock your phone IS the crime itself.

    They don't need to crack sophisticated encryption; they just crack you with the threat of immediate arrest for "obstruction." You become a criminal just for trying to protect your data dignity.

    And it's getting worse. The incoming #Pindaan2025 amendments propose escalating penalties for non-compliance up to a staggering RM1 MILLION fine or 5 YEARS in prison.

    This isn't about fighting crime; it's an infrastructure designed to force compliance through state-sanctioned fear. Your digital mind is yours only until they ask for it. Wake up.
