"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.

I urge you to consider changing the apps name sometime, it seems really nice but talking about it to others will lead to some confusion

thanks. ive had that feedback before. its also not the easiest thing to type out. many are probably unable to find it again because the name wasnt memorable enough.

im in the process of rebranding to "http://enkrypted.chat/". talking about it to others could still lead to some confusion, but i think could be a bit more memorable to say "encrypted.chat, but with a 'K'."
