  1. 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.

    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.

  7. PC Mag: Mastodon Plans End-to-End Encryption for Private Messages. “Decentralized social media platform Mastodon plans on adopting its own end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for private messages. Mastodon announced the upcoming feature in a blog post about receiving €614,000 ($724,000) from the Sovereign Tech Fund, an effort backed by the German government to support open-source software.”

  9. E2EE is coming to Mastodon. And it’s long overdue. Not until next year, but at least it’s on the horizon.

    On one hand, it’s a little scary seeing Mastodon features receiving large sums of money for features and improvements. On the other, it’s meaningful to see Mastodon maturing.

  11. Is this a #secure #MessagingApp? Maybe not yet, but it’s time to think about #DigitalPrivacy.

    Imagine a #Messaging platform that’s as #secure as #Signal but requires #NoRegistration and #NoInstallation. By leveraging #WebRTC for direct #BrowserToBrowser communication, this #OpenSource project eliminates the #Middleman entirely. Simply share a unique #URL to establish an #Encrypted #PrivateChannel. It is a #Lightweight, #Disposable method to bypass #DataHarvesting and reclaim #DigitalSovereignty.

    This project introduces a new #Paradigm in #ClientSide managed #Encryption. Send #Secure messages with #NoSetup, #NoCloud, and #NoTrace.

    Experience the #Features:
    * #PWA (#ProgressiveWebApp) for instant access
    * #P2P (#PeerToPeer) connectivity
    * #EndToEndEncryption (#E2EE)

  17. WhatsApp Clone... But Decentralized and P2P Encrypted Without Install or Signup.

    By leveraging WebRTC for direct browser-to-browser communication, it eliminates the middleman entirely. Users simply share a unique URL to establish an encrypted, private channel. This approach effectively bypasses corporate data harvesting and provides a lightweight, disposable communication method for those prioritizing digital sovereignty.

    Features include:
    * P2P
    * End to end encryption
    * forward secrecy
    * Multimedia
    * Open source

  19. I started building Brappr because I got tired of how normal it has become to track users, store metadata, and profile behavior.

    Brappr is an experiment in calm communication:
    private messaging with strong encryption, and a separate public space where people can share content and ideas without algorithmic pressure or identity collapse.

    I’m curious how others feel about privacy-first spaces for communication and discussions.

    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: github.com/positive-intentions. It has NOT been audited or reviewed.

    I recently introduced [metered.ca](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: p2p.positive-intentions.com/if

    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.)

  33. The Register: Forget disappearing messages – now Signal will store 100MB of them for you for free. “Encrypted messaging app Signal is rolling out a free storage system for its users, with extra space if folks are willing to pay for it. The company will gift all users 100MB of free storage for images, video, GIFs and other media from the prior 45 days of use.”

  34. @avoca @Ketakater I also got all of my family and a lot of my wider circle on it using these two strategies:

    1. Getting a device that simply does not have #Whatsapp / proprietary messaging apps, i.e.: #Linuxmobile: #Flx1, #LibertyPhone, #Librem5, #Jolla2c, etc. People typically won't care enough about #privacy but they will understand if WA simply does not work on your phone.

    2. Kids: They don't have phone numbers (or phones in many cases) but want to be included in family group chats. Once kids got in on it, #DeltaChat spread like wildfire among our extended family, relatives, inlaws and friends. Even a kid with #downsyndrome onboarded their grandpa in seconds while I had earlier struggled to get him on #Signal!

    A great thing about Delta Chat is that, unlike #ElementMessenger and other fully-featured #Matrix clients, there's no search and discovery feature so kids do not stumble upon untrusted groups and strangers' profiles.

    1. Getting a device that simply does not have #Whatsapp / proprietary messaging apps, i.e.: #Linuxmobile: #Flx1, #LibertyPhone, #Librem5, #Jolla2c, etc. People typically won't care enough about #privacy but they will understand if WA simply does not work on your phone.

  40. Associated Press: Encrypted messaging apps promise privacy. Government transparency is often the price. “How common is governmental use of encryption apps? The AP found accounts for state, local and federal officials in nearly every state, including many legislators and their staff, but also staff for governors, state attorneys general, education departments and school board members.”
