WhatsApp Clone, but Decentralized with P2P Messaging

App: https://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.

This is intended to introduce a new paradigm in client-side managed secure cryptography. We can avoid registration of any sort. A fairly unique offering for a messaging app.

No need for things like phone numbers or registering to any app stores. There are no databases to be hacked Allowing users to send E2EE messages; no cloud, no trace.

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.”

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.

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)
* #SignalProtocol & #PostQuantum #Cryptography
* #Multimedia, #FileTransfer, & #VideoCalls
* #NoDatabase & #Stateless architecture
* #TURN server support for reliable connections

While not yet a direct replacement for #Simplex or #WhatsApp, this introduces a unique approach to #SecureCommunication.

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.)

#Instagram reached #3billion monthly active users, according to Meta CEO #MarkZuckerberg. The platform is focusing on #privatemessaging and #Reels for future updates, including easier access and algorithm changes. https://www.theverge.com/news/784784/instagram-3-billion-monthly-users-reels-dms-updates?eicker.news #tech #media #news

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.”

@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.

CNBC: Jack Dorsey launches a WhatsApp messaging rival built on Bluetooth. “Block CEO Jack Dorsey spent the weekend building Bitchat, a new decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app that works entirely over Bluetooth mesh networks, with no internet, central servers, phone numbers or emails required.”

Engadget: X is ‘pausing’ encrypted DMs. “X users can no longer send encrypted messages on the platform. The company said in an update that it’s ‘pausing’ the feature ‘while we work on making some improvements.’ Users will still be able to view previously-sent encrypted chats, but won’t be able to send any new ones.”
