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.

IMPORTANT: While this is aiming to provide a secure experience, it isnt audited or reviewed. **Shared for testing, feedback and demo purposes only.** Please use responsibly.

Two feature suggestions for Briar Project @briar : Migratable Keys: End the "device=identity" lock. Support seed phrase recovery to restore old IDs on new devices. ⚡ Adaptive Transport: Auto-switch based on context—Tor for online, local P2P (like LocalSend) for same-WiFi speeds, and Bluetooth for offline.

Keep privacy absolute while boosting speed & UX! 🚀 #Briar #Decentralized #PrivacyTech #OpenSource

South Korea has been pushing to classify creative works like drawings and novels as CSAM if it contains minors. If you drew NSFW fanart about some 2D anime character that is 17 years old? yup, that is CSAM right there, prepare for interrogation and jail time. While porn is basically illegal in South Korea, A...

I've been building something.

It's called Urban Wilderness. Real documentation for people trying to opt out of systems that weren't built for them. Self-hosted infrastructure, skill bartering, solar in a rented apartment.

There are also logs. And a story unfolding in public.

First post is up. Free, no account required.
