Sideband

cross-platform LXMF client

WhatsApp Clone, but Decentralized with P2P Messaging

App: https://Enkrypted.Chat

"Secure and private" is the general goal.

This is a technical/concept demo of a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-first and webrtc.

This is intended to introduce a new paradigm in client-side managed secure cryptography. We can avoid registration of any sort.

Features:

* P2P
* End to end encryption
* Signal protocol
* Post-Quantum cryptography
* File transfer
* Local-first
* No registration
* No installation
* No database
* TURN server

Feel free to reach out for clarity instead of diving into the docs/code.

@aurelien Wow, I like the part in the paper describing the interface and functionalities in #instantmessaging apps!

It will be a great help for my project MIO (https://mio.chat/) because I want to interoperate with #whatsapp and #facebook_messenger (and #opensource protocols too).

why isnt there any good feeling irc clients TwT
pidgin works about sixty percent of the time, hexchat works but feels klunky(?) somehow, thunderbird works but i'd rather not combine email and chat, kiwiirc works but i dont want to have my browser open all the time, same thing with convos…
they all just feel off somehow, is this intentional or am i just insane


#i-wanna-use-irc-so-bad-but-every-client-i-try-has-some-issue-that-stops-me-from-using-it #if-anyone-has-any-irc-clients-that-they-can-reccommend-that'd-be-great-cause-i-just-can't-find-any #irc #instant-messaging
In a world where we can video call someone across the globe in a heartbeat, let's nostalgically pretend writing letters to strangers is still relevant. ✍️📮 Because nothing screams "cutting-edge communication" like waiting weeks for a letter when you could just text. 😂📱

Pen pal programs endure in a digital age

A recent trip to New Zealand to visit her pen pal of 40 years made an Associated Press reporter from New Hampshire wonder about the history of programs that bring strangers together to write letters. While the program that matched them as teenagers folded years ago, others are still going strong. And even though the government postal service in Denmark recently stopped delivering letters altogether, some see signs of a letter-writing resurgence. More than 15,000 people signed up for a pen pal program created by a writer for The New Yorker during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, an app called Slowly that mimics the anticipation of receiving a letter by delaying digital message deliveries has 10 million users.
