Id like to introduce you to a decentralized chat app that works purely in the browser. Breaking away from traditional solutions that require registration and installation.
A decentralized infrastructure has many unique challenges and this is a unique approach. Ive taken previsous feedback and made updates. Its important to note, it is still a work-in-progress and provided for testing/review/feedback purposes. 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 (LAN/hotspot)
File transfer
Video calls
Data-ownership
Selfhosted (optional)
Screensharing (on desktop browsers)
OS notifications (where supported)
With no registration or installation required, its easy to get started.
its been compared to simplex before im sure there are some similarities. its important to note that i want to make the app more accessible to users by providing it as a webapp. this allows for things like easier network inspection.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Curious how this is distinct from SimpleX.
