Session has issued a plea for help and donations.

as it is right now in 90-days session will essentially be no more.

All paid staff have already been let go, and everything is being run completely by volunteers, so it remains available on app-stores and websites, but that will change if they don't get help.

Privacy Messenger Session Is Staring Down a 90-Day Countdown to Obscurity

With paid developers gone and only volunteers remaining, the app has until July 8 to secure funding or fade into irrelevance.

It's FOSS

**Yggmail – чат через почтовый интерфейс | DevZone**

**Что это и зачем**

[Yggmail](https://github.com/neilalexander/yggmail) — экспериментальный мессенджер, который использует стандартные почтовые протоколы IMAP и SMTP, но работает как чат. Создан как побочный проект разработчиков [Yggdrasil](https://devzone.org.ua/post/yggdrasil-mereznii-protokol-z-decentralizovanim-routingom). Написан на Go, полностью открытый. Основная идея — можно быстро поднять сервер, к которому подключается любой почтовый клиент, и при этом не нужен центральный сервер или публичный IP.

### Коротко об истории

Идея «почта как чат» существует давно, но раньше оставалась экспериментальной. Yggmail делает это проще: использует встроенный Yggdrasil-узел для связи между пользователями, сообщения защищены внутри сети, можно работать автономно.

### Как работает

* Использует Yggdrasil для передачи данных (TLS не нужен отдельно)
* Поддерживает стандартные IMAP/SMTP, можно подключить Thunderbird или [DeltaChat](https://delta.chat/uk/)
* Все данные хранятся локально (`~/yggmail.db`)
* Сообщения ставятся в очередь, если узел недоступен

### Установка

Собирается из исходников с Go:

```bash
cd ~
go install github.com/neilalexander/yggmail/cmd/yggmail@latest
install go/bin/yggmail /usr/local/bin/yggmail
yggmail -password
```

Для автозапуска через `systemd`:

```ini
[Unit]
After=network.target
Wants=network.target

[Service]
User=yggmail
Group=yggmail
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/home/yggmail
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/yggmail -peer=tls://...
StandardOutput=file:///home/yggmail/debug.log
StandardError=file:///home/yggmail/error.log

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

### Подключение почтового клиента

Порты: SMTP 1025, IMAP 1143

Настройки клиента:

* Login: `123abc@yggmail`
* Password: сгенерированное `yggmail -password`
* SMTP: `localhost:1025`
* IMAP: `localhost:1143`

> Для теста лучше отправлять сообщения с другого узла сети, «сам себе» пока не работает.

Если нужно, могу сделать **схему работы Yggmail и маршрутизации через Yggdrasil**, чтобы было наглядно, как сообщения доходят до получателя.

Сделать такую схему?

Is this a #secure #MessagingApp? Maybe not yet, but it’s time to think about #DigitalPrivacy.

Imagine a #Messaging platform that’s as #secure as #Signal but requires #NoRegistration and #NoInstallation. By leveraging #WebRTC for direct #BrowserToBrowser communication, this #OpenSource project eliminates the #Middleman entirely. Simply share a unique #URL to establish an #Encrypted #PrivateChannel. It is a #Lightweight, #Disposable method to bypass #DataHarvesting and reclaim #DigitalSovereignty.

This project introduces a new #Paradigm in #ClientSide managed #Encryption. Send #Secure messages with #NoSetup, #NoCloud, and #NoTrace.

Experience the #Features:
* #PWA (#ProgressiveWebApp) for instant access
* #P2P (#PeerToPeer) connectivity
* #EndToEndEncryption (#E2EE)
* #SignalProtocol & #PostQuantum #Cryptography
* #Multimedia, #FileTransfer, & #VideoCalls
* #NoDatabase & #Stateless architecture
* #TURN server support for reliable connections

While not yet a direct replacement for #Simplex or #WhatsApp, this introduces a unique approach to #SecureCommunication.

Looks like https://digitalprivacy.diy/ (a Matrix home server) is shutting down at the end of March 2026

I've created an account on Matrix.org, for now, until I find a better home server or decide to run my own, lol

Signal Protocol for a P2P Webapp

TL;DR: I have open-sourced a #Rust implementation of the #SignalProtocol that compiles to #WASM for #Browser-based #P2P messaging, overcoming the #NodeJS limitations of the official library.

I am sharing my implementation of the Signal Protocol designed specifically for the #Frontend. While the official libsignal is the gold standard, its #JavaScript targets are often optimized for Node.js, which creates integration challenges for client-side web applications.

My version is built in #RustLang and compiles to #WebAssembly, utilizing #ModuleFederation to provide robust #Encryption for decentralized environments. It currently powers the end-to-end security for my #P2P messaging project.

Protocol Demo:

P2P App Demo:
https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/iframe.html?globals=&id=demo-p2p-messaging--p-2-p-messaging&viewMode=story

I am looking for feedback from the #Dev and #Infosec community. If you have experience with #Cryptography audits or formal-proof verification, I would appreciate your eyes on the codebase as I work toward a more finished state.
