this is following a previous post as seen here: https://programming.dev/post/51866250

apps like Whatsapp, Signal and SimpleXChat are great for secure messaging and far more mature than this project, but this approach is yet distict in the market. the core philosophy around secure messaging here is that it can work in a way that avoids installation and registration by enabling users to host their own data.

note: feel free to ask for clarity on any of the details around how the project works.

FAQ:

  • but why? - git over https adds an additional capability previously oerlooked https. webrtc cannot work over TOR and similar networks. this way, you can take advantage of the "gold standard" for onion routing while being able to avoid IP leaking from webrtc.

  • when is it ready for production? - not any time soon. standby for updates.

  • audit/review? - no, niether is possible/available. its simply too expensive. this project is close-source so YOU cannot verify it either. DO NOT "trust me bro"... this demo is proided for testing and demo purposes only. use responsibly.

  • the abridged version of how its put together: https://www.reddit.com/r/VibeCodeDevs/comments/1vme48q/refactor_js_to_rust/

feel free to reach out for clarity on the details and i can share how it works. while the app isnt open source, a lot my my work is and i can shared more examples with code demos. a good place to start might by the projects subreddit.

regarding connecting a git repo... its important to connect it to a blank repo. with scoped permissions to just that repo. DO NOT use an existing repo of a project you care about.
