    I tried chatting with myself on a regular tab and incógnito, didn’t work. I was stuck at the new peer page.

    I’m glad people are doing stuff like this. Some technical description of how it works would be great to have. I see there’s an android app written in Java and a server side wrapper for Tauri(?) in Rust. Also a wasm directory. I only looked for a minute or so though.

    Is this much different from Jami or Jitsi? I don’t use Whatsapp or know what it does.

      The docs for it can be seen here: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/projects/chat

      I think it should have the links for more information.

      The android app is poorly maintained I would stick to the website based version which I actively work on. I’m using tauri to wrap the webapp. I’m no java developer, that’s all tauri boilerplate.

      Ultimately this is intended to be a general purpose messaging app. But it isn’t as good as any of the app you’ve suggested. I sharing it because it demonstrates a fairly unique browser based architecture. Aiming for secure client-side cryptography.

      Unlike other solutions, as a webapp users can get started without installing or registering.
