#localonly — Public Fediverse posts

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.

I'd like to share the latest version of my project.

It's a a decentralised P2P messaging app. The aim is of course privacy and security.

It demonstrates a fairly unique approach by using browser-based local-only storage with webrtc.

When Local-Only And Self-Hosted Matters - When data exposure is unacceptable - local-only and self-hosted are the solution. It's not paranoia. It's a threat-modeling mindset.

Vielleicht liegt es an meinem Alter aber für wirklich alles ne App und einen Account zu benötigen nervt mich mittlerweile extrem.

Ich lösche Accounts oder wechsel wenn es geht zu EU Alternativen oder gehe wieder ganz offline.

Streaming etc. alles geht nur noch online und wenn es dann mal nicht klappt merkt man erst wie abhängig man geworden ist.

Ich versuche nun wieder Daten #localonly und #offline zu haben damit ich jederzeit Zugriff habe und es fühlt sich gut an :)

My esteemed followers, you have posted a total of 375,809 statuses to the #fediverse. 22% of you have posted in the last 24h. You are a chatty bunch! ;-)

Check out my new #sideproject: *fedi-followers*. A privacy-friendly fediverse #followers explorer as #localonly #staticwebapp, decentrally hosted on the #ipfs. See who's actually following (and unfollowing) you over time and much more.

Ok smart homers, it's finally happened!

Those nest mini's that flooded the market are starting to be usable with community PCB replacements and some home assistant glue.

While still extremely early, this is such a win for preventing e-waste if we can get these silly devices to only process locally, and it's definitely getting there.

I've just started playing around with #Channels which look like they are instance-locked #forums on the #Calckey platform. Cool thing about them is you can #follow them and posts will appear in your home #timeline just like when following another user's account.

Here's some initial screenshots so you can see what I'm talking about. #fediverse #feditips #microfedi

1. Channels are found in the #Calckey sidebar.
2. Here's a list of channels on #blahajzone.
3. Inside "Jo Channel" on #blahajzone. Anyone from the instance can post, posts are #localonly.
4. If you #follow the channel, posts appear in your home & local timelines like so.

@andrew @gnomon @jamiemccarthy note, you (or an admin) have to add the emoji to the server. It's prone to typos without it, it won't be in the emoji picker, and it will appear as ugly text, not emoji. On my instance, I used pfx's sample from the wiki docs: https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/wiki/Local-only-posting#the-local_only-emoji #LocalOnly
