How to explore writing an app for ipfs with rust?
Not written in Rust, but may be Berty can give you some ideas?

Daily General Discussion - February 22, 2023
Berty is an open source, secure, private, censorship resilient messaging protocol. Berty is designed to work with NO internet connection. Thanks to Bluetooth LE and mDNS, messages can be securely and privately relayed, peer to peer to create an adhoc network. Of course old fashioned networks still work, and if you’re connected to a “hostile” network that’s being surveilled, the Berty protocol can still operate safely and securely thanks to e2e encryption. Super nice!
- So there's no online messaging service that's private, anonymous and secure?

Berty: The privacy-first messaging app
https://github.com/berty/berty/tree/master/docs/protocol
On the subject of rendezvous, some years ago I came across a personal P2P project where the author provided an unusual, additional, alternative method for a peer to succinctly and confidentially provide another peer with their address via any arbitrary web page, e.g., a pastebin. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find this project again. Running one's own rendezvous server that only serves up peer addresses and passes no traffic between peers is relatively easy and inexpensive, but being a remote server still it requires some maintenance. This author had thought about other possible means of exchanging addresses over the public internet. IME that is unusual in P2P projects.
I says it in the home page:
Open Source. ... read it, fork it, improve it.
Well, in fact they have a CLI client ( that I haven't tested ) [1] and their site says they're going to be available also for Mac, Windows and Linux.

Signal: The Pqxdh Key Agreement Protocol
* marketing "Perfect Forward Secrecy" AKA "Forward Secrecy"[0].
I favor Session Private Messenger[1] because it is decentralized and allows third party clients, but Signal enthusiasts warn me that the Session client may, hypothetically, at some future date, integrate a cryptocurrency, as the Signal client already does[2].

U.K. Abandons, for Now, Legislation That Would Have Banned End-to-End Encryption
If you have a mobile phone number, the domestic intelligence agency knows exactly where you are at all times and any LEO (without a warrant) can also find you. In addition, there have been numerous CCC presentations showing how insecure the global (excluding US) and (separately) US carriers are guilty of promiscuous metadata trafficking ($$) and insecure SS7 setups. As a consequence, for low $, you can go to any one of several shady websites and find the last location of almost any phone number (person unique ID) globally. There are additional varying exploitable vulnerabilities depending on the exact combination of {handset x carrier x country} to impersonate them, tap their line, reveal their exact location, and redirect their phone number through a third-party handset or even a PBX. These are more expensive and some capabilities are forbidden for all but a few selective intelligence uses.
Session (Signal fork) doesn't use phone numbers. It's pretty well-designed overall and uses an onion routing approach. It's already a superset of Signal except it doesn't use phone numbers. https://getsession.org
Also look interesting:

* (unproven) https://simplex.chat
PS: Using regular TOR on home broadband or cloud servers is relatively risky and inefficient. Sybil attacks on it are common. And to network operators and security agencies it gives an easy "flow tag" of your uplink and exit node data traffic as automatically suspicious.
