For a few months I’ve spent my free time working on a C++ messenger. It started off pretty simple, just two input boxes for IP address and port number, more of a fun experiment. From there it started to grow and soon allowed for peers to connect automatically using a relay. For a while it only allowed two people to speak at once, which was good for security but was very inconvenient. Now Retro Messenger allows multiple users to speak at once, sending encrypted files and messages that exist only in memory.
Although there is plenty of things I could improve, I was curious to see if anyone had suggestions or requests for what else could be added. I’m currently debugging a local-logs feature, and I could look into how to implement voice calls in the future. Thanks for your time and feel free to ask questions

Not sure what’s up with the website, but my computer was unable to handle it. Had to restart. Maybe cut down on the constant animations? A version that works without JS would be nice as well. Sounds interesting otherwise.
Thank you. Yeah I think I’ll have to cut them. I thought they looked interesting but they’re probably a bit much.
