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.

* [Roadmap](https://positive-intentions.com/docs/technical/p2p-messaging-technical-breakdown/)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.

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.

🚫🤡 Ah, the internet's equivalent of a "Do Not Enter" sign: a digital bouncer rejecting you like an expired coupon.

Oh, look! Another riveting piece on transgender homicides, hidden behind the glorious barrier of #JavaScript and #cookies 🍪🔒. Because, naturally, the data on crimes can't be accessed without first proving you're not a bot 🦾. Who knew that the key to understanding societal violence was a cookie acceptance button? 🤦♂️

Just like you should never click on an untrustworthy link, you should never use your personal device to perform sensitive tasks.
The use of NeuroScreens allows you to perform these actions in the "cloud". Simply open, use and then close NeuroScreens and it is gone.

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.

I wish there would be end-to-end encrypted, federated micro-blog social media. Social media entries and media aren't stored in plain text, but rather encrypted on the server, and only users who have subscribed to them have the ability to decrypt it.

Think of online anonymity as being one person in a vast crowd. Every piece of personal information you reveal reduces the size of that crowd, the group of people you could plausibly be. For example, revealing your gender cuts the number of potential identities roughly in half.
One way to regain some anonymity is through deliberate disinformation. Suppose you share \(n\) independent yes/no facts about yourself, but intentionally flip \(k\) of them (without the attacker knowing which). In that case, you increase the number of identities consistent with your answers by a factor of \(C(n,k)\).

I am back!!!
And I brought Jacqueline Jayne with me. 🤘✨Make some noise for an awesome episode 🎉
After taking a brief pause, I’m back at full speed with my shows: Redefining #Society & #Technology on ITSPmagazine Podcasts — ready to bring you bold conversations that challenge assumptions and question the role of technology in our lives.
This is the first episode published for the 2025 season, but trust me, many more are already recorded and coming your way soon.
And we’re kicking things off with a big one.
🚨 Australia recently banned social media for kids under 16.
A bold move? Sure. A solution? Well, that’s where the debate begins.In this episode of Redefining Society & Technology, I sit down with my Australian friend Jacqueline Jayne to break it all down. JJ is a cybersecurity and human risk expert, and she’s got some strong thoughts about why prohibition never works.
Let’s face it—does banning something ever actually solve the problem?
We explore the unintended consequences:
⚠️ Will this really protect kids, or just push them to riskier online spaces?
⚠️ What about the communities that rely on #socialmedia for connection and support?
⚠️ Who’s actually responsible for educating kids (and adults) about online safety?Technology moves fast, but knee-jerk policies don’t always keep up. Instead of banning, maybe it’s time we start educating.
📺 Start with the teaser video https://youtu.be/6wKbgTeNux8
📺 Then move on the full length video https://youtu.be/5ZehKjNsavc

The importnat thing is that you listen now and join the conversation -- comment below!
Let’s rethink, redefine, and challenge the way we approach technology in society.
