The aim is to have an experience as close to Whatsapp as reasonably possible so that the experience is intuitive.

Some features include:

P2P

End to end encryption

Browser-based

No installation/registration

Messaging

Text Messaging

Multimedia Messaging

File Transfer

Video Calls

Data Ownership

passkeys-based encryption

Local-Only storage

Encrypted at rest

NOTE: This is still a work-in-progress and a close-source project. To view the open source MVP see here. It has NOT been audited or reviewed. For testing purposes only, not a replacement for your current messaging app.

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: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat. It has NOT been audited or reviewed. For testing purposes only, not a replacement for your current messaging app.

E2EE P2P Messaging App

I recently introduced [metered.ca](http://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: https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/iframe.html?globals=&id=demo-p2p-messaging--p-2-p-messaging&viewMode=story

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.)

I can't seem to coerce nginx and npm to play together nicely. I'm running a proxy to access a different port for 443 on one site. It can't find the node_modules directory automatically. What works in a 127.0.0.1 environment fails on a production server with nginx in the way.

Maybe I can get the 127.0.0.1 code and the production code talking to each other. I think nginx is acting where peerjs should be. Will this solve anything? We'll find out soon. Plan A is giving me a headache.

#npm #peerjs #nginx

Want to send messages and video calls with:

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

Check out the [testable demo here](https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/iframe.html?globals=&id=demo-p2p-messaging--p-2-p-messaging&viewMode=story).

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

Hey chooms, are any of you interested in collaborating on a serverless peer-to-peer (WebRTC) implementation of Nine Men's Morris? (Especially e.g. asset contribution, UI design...also happy for code and architecture contribution). It's in typescript/sveltekit

I started it as a way to mess around with Zero trust serverless gaming (a broker is still required just for peer discovery) I think I'm mostly done with the game architecture and how turn validation should work without having to trust your peer.

Have a look and see what you think:

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.

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)

P2P Location Sharing

I'm slowly having fun with #webRTC and #peerJS. The chat app that was originally intended for #KaiOS is now online as a website: https://flop.bhackers.uber.space/#!/intro, so it can also be used as a web app for other operating systems. Communication between two users is still simple, but a group chat is a bit more complicated.

Thank you #peerjs for restoring my faith and fun in my web project and helping me stay focused.

The only think I haven't tackled is STUN/TURN/ICE servers. With my simple test I didn't seem to need them with #PeerJS. Curious if other #WebRTC developers have any input on when they'll be needed.

I spent the weekend learning #PeerJS to experiment with #WebRTC #JacaScript... and I love it! It's dead simple, and I'm beginning to see how this might be useful for various p2p data sharing.
