MindTheClub - Android Messaging App (lemmy.ml)

I have been working on an Android App quite a while now, starting from a simple idea.

A messenger where messages travel directly between phones with no servers in between. Using direct WebRTC encrypted connections (SRTP/DTLS), there are no servers that stores, reads, or relays content. Group chats use a gossip protocol where members relay to other members.

The only infrastructure the app touches is a signalling relay to set up the connection (no message content), a push notification to wake up a sleeping phone (also no content), and a TURN relay for restricted networks (encrypted packets only).

I wrote a detailed white paper explaining the full architecture on my landing page:

www.mindtheclub.com

The app is in Free Open Testing on Google Play (1,000 tester cap):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bolimot.mindtheclub

I’m interested in this community’s perspective on whether the architecture holds up, and in finding a group of users willing to stress test the App.

Is there a difference between this and Briar? Also, I wouldn't use anything like this that isn't open source.

Will the app become Open Source?
