Hello everyone, about a month ago I open-sourced my web app Peersuite. It’s peer-to-peer instead of having servers, and all data is encrypted in transit with AES-GCM algorithm.
Features:
- chat with channels, images, PMs, and file send ( no size limit)
- audio/video conferencing No hard cap on users but since it’s a mesh network it would degrade at over 15 users
- Screensharing tab, window, or entire screen
- whiteboard for diagrams/drawing
- group document creation/editing
- kanban board for task management
Since there is no server, you can download a workspace to an encrypted file to restore later, this saves you chats, documents, everything. This software is new, and still undergoing heavy development, but I think it’s a valid choice over closed source solutions with no encryption.
Currently you can use it on the web at https://peersuite.space/ Download desktop versions from github Download docker image from https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/openconstruct/peersuite
You can also install it as a PWA on desktop or mobile. I have an android port in the works, If anyone would like to test let that me know, and I’ll PM you for your email.
I’ve also done some initial work on a nodejs server so that you can keep a workspace open 24/7 effectively having a server.
Super happy to get any kind of feedback, positive or negative.
I think in Revolt’s case it’s not about not knowing how to implement but cost. Revolt is server based so video streaming would cost a lot of money. P2P uses your own hardware so no cost.
The downside is synchronization difficulties (which this seems to have solved though) and message permanence (which this still doesn’t have an easy way to do for an average user).
Then how about E2EE? They don’t really rush to implement that either. And I think the reason is political (aka enforcing their left wing ToS).
Encryption also increases bandwidth. Especially once scaled to millions of people messaging.
It’s also more complex to implement for large groups, unless you mean only dm’s. Either way, Revolt is currently tiny and they still need money in order to even maintain the servers let alone grow it further and add new features.
This statement clearly shows that you’re not familiar with Revolt very much. They only “wanted” to implement encryption for direct messages as it’s practically impossible for a large group chat to verify each other’s keys. However Revolt’s team is still acting strange and I will be bold to assume many of them have mental issues (as I have talked to them in the past). I do not trust that project and I consider their official disrespect of certain protected characteristics (such as nationality and religion) a massive red flag.
Typically I consider red flags to be people who assume many others have mental issues. Occam’s Razor and basic statistics would suggest the problem is likely you.
Well with all due respect, all aggressive leftists say so. I have a different opinion that I am going to stick to.
An accusation is not an opinion. If you have actual evidence for the statistically unlikely, you’re free to show, but otherwise it is just a falsehood.
If I had evidence then I would show it. Unfortunately at that time I was pretty positive about the society so I didn’t save any evidence or took it any seriously. I know it makes my accusations much less valid but it is what it is. I understand your skepticism because of that. Asking for proof is always a good thing.
