A webapp for P2P E2EE messaging and file transfer. its a fairly unique approach to secure messaging.

the project isnt ready to replace any existing apps or services, but given the competative market for this kind of project, id like to push it out to get feedback.

i made an attempt to create documentation on the website, but otherwise feel free to reach out with questions about how it works.

Created a profile. Created a share link. Sent to a friend. Friend clicked the link.

What I expected: a chat will open What happened: we both were seeing the "connect peer" screen and nothing happened.

I've read the documentation that pops up and it doesn't really describe what to do, just says that it uses webrtc and is nice and private.

There's sometimes a bug where you have to have to exchange that ID both ways.

There a lot of docs to read through so just in case you overlooked it, I hope the video on this page helps: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/basics/peers

If that doesn't help, then it's something I need to fix. I am aware of a few issues with connecting to people when not on the same network. Webrtc should still work, so I chalk it up to some bug I should prioritize.

Id be interested to hear about the experience of trying to connect with the file app. I added some changes to make things work better, if that works I may have an idea of how to fix it for the chat app.

Oh there is a video. I instinctively scroll past these because they're usually ads/spam. Alright, the video shows you need to copy some more magic strings, thanks.
