sup. is an open source encrypted fediverse instant messenger, similar to whatsapp, made by pixelfed.

The beta will be launching later this month, and btw most fediverse accounts will work, not just Pixelfed 😉

The mobile app is written in React Native, and the backend in async PHP (surprisingly high perf).

Both client and server code will be open sourced when we release the beta, and we'll target F-Droid support and TestFlight!

I will maintain the primary sup. server, but you will be able to run your own, and connect from the app easily!

@dansup Neat. I'd be curious what the function of the "server" is, and what its relationship to the "account" (if accounts on existing instances can be used) is.

Is this encrypted chat transported over the existing ActivityPub network, or a new network that does an Oauth thing to use ActivityPub accounts as usernames?
