WhatsApp Clone, but Decentralized with P2P Messaging
"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 serverFeel free to reach out for clarity instead of diving into the docs/code.
IMPORTANT: While this is aiming to provide a secure experience, it isnt audited or reviewed. **Shared for testing, feedback and demo purposes only.** Please use responsibly.

Two feature suggestions for Briar Project @briar : Migratable Keys: End the "device=identity" lock. Support seed phrase recovery to restore old IDs on new devices. ⚡ Adaptive Transport: Auto-switch based on context—Tor for online, local P2P (like LocalSend) for same-WiFi speeds, and Bluetooth for offline.
Keep privacy absolute while boosting speed & UX! 🚀 #Briar #Decentralized #PrivacyTech #OpenSource

ABC News, in a stunning feat of technological genius, has managed to make #FiveThirtyEight articles disappear faster than my interest in reading them 💨🤔. Meanwhile, #JavaScript is missing, presumed dead, and the internet suggests turning off your privacy extensions—because who needs privacy, right? 🕵️♂️🔍

Ah, the wonders of cutting-edge technology: Meta's AI #glasses are so advanced that they can even accidentally broadcast intimate moments to Kenyan workers, who are then promptly fired. 🤦♂️ Because nothing says "progress" like losing your job over unsolicited voyeurism from Silicon Valley's latest gadget. 😂🔍
