An #E2EE messaging app unaffected by #ChatControl

* App: chat.positive-intentions.com/
* Code: github.com/positive-intentions
* Reddit: reddit.com/r/positive_intentio

How it works: positive-intentions.com/docs/p

TLDR: I'm working on a #P2P messaging #webapp. Webapps are generally not considered secure because of the nature of serving statics over the internet. This is correct, but not a limitation of this project. (#selfhosting options: positive-intentions.com/blog/d).

As a webapp, I can provide the app with zero-installation and no-registration. The app is only using (local-only) browser storage (specifically #indexedDB). So in a P2P interaction, the traditional concept of "the cloud" is just the physical devices connected over #WebRTC. This allows for things like P2P authentication: positive-intentions.com/blog/s.

Future:
I'm aiming to create the most secure messaging app out there... (more than #Signal, #Simplex, #threema, #session, #deltachat, #bitchat, etc). I know I have a long way to go to get there. The UI is fairly ugly for the average user, but I think the mechanics are working as expected. I think #JavaScript is underrated in what you can do with it. I'm actively investigating improving the #encryption approach further to align to how the Signal protocol works (currently using a #DiffieHellman key-exchange).

Support:
In the age of #ChatControl, I would like to keep this project #opensource, but open-source funding is not working for me. I don't want your donations (but don't let that stop you) because it isn't sustainable for a long-term project. I have so far only experienced grant-funding rejections. I have no idea what I'm doing in trying to get funding for this project, so any support/advice is appreciated. In recognition of the project in its current state not being able to get funding... (sorry) I will have to go #closedsource (which I'd like to avoid because it undermines several #cybersecurity claims I'd like to make). I don't accept collaboration on the project because this would make tough decisions like going closed-source also immoral.

A look at the reality of organizations shows that the quality of corporate organizing has been stagnating for decades. All the trendy tools and glitzy slogans will be charades as long as responsibility for day-to-day business isn’t systematically shifted to teams on the #periphery. Great leadership will remain elusive until organizations are consistently #decentralized.

Told y'all we were cooking.

Say hello to Conjured Ink ( conjured.ink ): an #IndieWeb-based, #decentralized ecosystem of shops networked together to resist the kind of nonsense Itch and Steam have been dealing with.

We're a collective designing and building the software needed for folks who aren't techies to basically self host without feeling like they're self-hosting. Because you shouldn't need to be a sysadmin to free yourself from this yoke.

Join us!

@dan_ballard I hope people will consider simplex.chat over #discord and #facebook its #FOSS #decentralized and has #QuantumResistantEncryption , IP obfuscation with a custom onion routing protocol, and no user ids meaning its like "a burner phone for every contact" I think that communications warfare is something we need to take more seriously in the path to revolution #simplex

Tinkered around with the bsky / at protocol around a few days ago (more like a week lol), in an attempt to create an fully decentral account / identity where no parts are owned by an copoeration. And to my surprires you can actually not only host the account data yourself (called a PDS) but also the whole identity itself!

Wrote a (rather long) blog post about the journey and how to achieve it; check it out if those things interest you: blog.lapyst.dev/posts/14-how-t

Now that the release has dropped I can say that it is pretty cool that we (@limeleaf@social.coop) got to partner with @Flipboard@flipboard.social for their @surf@flipboard.social announcement promoting their custom feeds on https://blueskydirectory.com

#Decentralized #Module #Federation #Microfrontend #Architecture

I'm working on a #webapp and I'm being #creative on the #approach. It might be considered #overcomplicated (because it is), but I'm just trying something out. It's entirely possible this approach won't work #longterm. I see it as there is #onewaytofindout. I don't recommend this approach. Just sharing what I'm trying/#investigating.

How it will be #architected: [positive-intentions.com/blog/d
Some #benefits of the #approach: [positive-intentions.com/blog/s

I find that #modulefederation and #microfrontends to generally be #discouraged when I see posts, but I think it works for me in my #approach. I'm #optimistic about the approach and the #benefits and so I wanted to #share details.

When I serve the #federatedmodules, I can also host the #storybook statics so I think this could be a good way to #document the modules in #isolation.

#Cryptography modules - cryptography.positive-intentio

#P2P framework - p2p.positive-intentions.com/?p

This way, I can create #microfrontends that consume these #modules. I can then #share the #functionality between #apps. The following apps are using a different codebase from each other (there is a #distinction between these apps in #opensource and #closesource). Sharing those #dependencies could help make it easier to roll out #updates to #coremechanics.

#P2P chat - [chat.positive-intentions.com/]
#P2P file transfer - [file.positive-intentions.com/]

The #functionality also works when I create an #Android build with #Tauri. This could also lead to it being easier to create #newapps that could use the #modules created.

I'm sure there will be some distinct #test/#maintenance #overhead, but depending on how it's #architected I think it could work and make it easier to #improve on the current #implementation.

Everything about the #project is far from finished. It could be seen as this is a #complicated way to do what #npm does, but I think this #approach allows for greater #flexibility by being able to #separate #opensource and #closesource code for the #web. (Of course as #javascript, it will always be "source code available". Especially in the age of #AI, I'm sure it's possible to #reverseengineer it like never before.)

(mastodon might not be the place for something like this, so let me know if you dont like this kind of content. i typically post on reddit and would like to shift it more towards mastodon. i also use lemmy, but mastodon has a better reach.)

No one's asking #Nextcloud to drop #YouTube. Just to give people a choice by *also* mirroring to a #FOSS, #decentralized alternative such as #Peertube.

Once again, Tilvids already said they'd be happy to host. I already offered to set up mirroring free of charge. The whole thing could be set up in 30 minutes with nothing more than a "Yes, you have our permission." (or by doing it yourself).

There is no cost to Nextcloud at all. It needs no staff resources. It takes nothing away from your YouTube viewers. It's in alignment with Nextcloud's stated values. It would raise credibility for your stated aims.

So what else would it take to move forward in the near term instead of maybe, possibly off in the future?
