  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.

    * [Protocol Spec (work-in-progress)](positive-intentions.com/docs/t)
    * [Roadmap](positive-intentions.com/docs/t)

    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. WhatsApp Clone, but Decentralized with P2P Messaging

    App: Enkrypted.Chat

    "Secure and private" is the general goal.

    This is a technical/concept demo of a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-first and webrtc.

    This is intended to introduce a new paradigm in client-side managed secure cryptography. We can avoid registration of any sort.

    Features:

    * P2P
    * End to end encryption
    * Signal protocol
    * Post-Quantum cryptography
    * File transfer
    * Local-first
    * No registration
    * No installation
    * No database
    * TURN server

    Feel free to reach out for clarity instead of diving into the docs/code.

  3. I just finished the first version of a small software for managing the balcony solar plant of some family members. It works completely without any cloud or any other people's computers or even an internet connection.

    There's three panels and an inverter with a battery. Any power initially is used in the household, then if anything is left it's put into the battery for later use, or if the battery is full, fed it into the public grid (to get a small financial compensation). Or if you want to, you can override that and just charge the battery, or even charge it from the grid.

    Of course the inverter originally needs a cloud connection and comes with an app that needs a cloud connection and obviously is described as AI-powered very smart whatever. But there is a documented API for getting and setting some values! Interoperability! Without the cloud, there's hardly any logic built in. So I had to create it myself.

    It's just a few HTTP requests, json, a SQLite database, and some very basic HTML.
