​

Id like to introduce a decentralised chat app: positive-intentions.

A decentralized infrastructure has many unique challenges. Ive taken
feedback from previous posts and have made updates. Its still a work-
in-progress, but it's testable and it would be great if you can tell
me what you think.

Some of the features of the app include:

* Free
* Decentralised
* No cookies
* P2P encrypted
* No registration
* No installing
* Group messaging
* Text messaging
* Multimedia messaging
* Offline messaging ([related post](https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/c
omments/16v6yhx/the_most_secure_chat_app_in_the_world_part_2/))
* Video calls
* Data-ownership
* Selfhosted ([optional](https://github.com/peers/peerjs-server))
* Screensharing (on desktop browsers)
* OS notifications (where supported)

More details can be found here: [https://chat-staging.positive-
intentions.com](https://chat-staging.positive-intentions.com/)

I have a long list of todo-items on the project, but i'd like to hear
your thoughts on how i can improve the app (maybe i can prioritise
features?).

In a previous post, you indicated that you do not know what forward
security or post-quantum cryptography are.

Given this apparent lack of expertise in the very complex and high
stakes world of security implementation, why should a user consider
trusting this application?

good question. for critical things they shouldnt. it is wordered along
those lines in the terms and conditions, but id like to think i
generally mention it in my posts.

for now i am still working on the proof-of-concept and the
implementation is still a work in progress. some parts of the
functionality is working and testable in the app but it isnt finished
and the app is not ready for post-quantum tomorrow.

while it is noteworth that i lack the expertise in the field, the
project is largly a learning process. my primary social media is
reddit and id like to think i am available to respond to questions and
concerns if things can be improved.
