"Secure and private" is the general aim.

This is a technical/concept demo of a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-first and webrtc.

This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed cryptography. We can avoid registration of any sort.

App: https://chat.positive-intentions.com/

Code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat

Features:

P2P
End to end encryption
File transfer
Local-first
No registration
No installation
No database

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.

I've come across it before. That one is good and easy to get started.

I also have another version to the approach where im refining details: https://enkrypted.chat/ . (It's far from finished and not open source yet.)
