Id like to introduce you to a decentralized chat app that works purely in the browser. Breaking away from traditional solutions that require registration and installation.

A decentralized infrastructure has many unique challenges and this is a unique approach. Ive taken previsous feedback and made updates. Its important to note, it is still a work-in-progress and provided for testing/review/feedback purposes. it would be great if you can tell me what you think.

Some of the features of the app include:

  • Free
  • Decentralised
  • No cookies
  • P2P encrypted
  • No registration
  • No installing
  • Group messaging
  • Text messaging
  • Multimedia messaging
  • Offline messaging (LAN/hotspot)
  • File transfer
  • Video calls
  • Data-ownership
  • Selfhosted (optional)
  • Screensharing (on desktop browsers)
  • OS notifications (where supported)

With no registration or installation required, its easy to get started.

Oh no. I'm fine with installation. What with I'm not fine it's requirement to access some websites to load an app, dependence from DNS in inner links, inability to proxy it through overlay networks, protection from spamming the network. Lack of everything what could make it deserve to be named P2P app. I just don't want to see it placed in the same category with BitTorrent, I2P or RetroShare.

    if "trust" in the static files from a url is a concern, (which is very reasonable), you can easily host your own instance.

    i think it fits squarely as a "P2P app". over a hotspot, you can practically send messages offline. im not sure what other qualifiers are needed.

    i dont think its ready to be compared to other tools yet. but i would be aiming to make it comparable to something like signal... but it'll take a while to get there.
