caprine VS RetroShare

If you have access to the source, package.json will have several entries for electron packages. Example.

Second was a small CSS change in a popular project, Caprine. I really had a long back and forth with the maintainer about two seemingly simple changes in a style sheet and I realized I should have been linting my code changes and I learned how to find the css elements I meant to target, it was a small step forward. https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine/pull/1933 You can still see the remainder of a bunch of requested changes.

The second issue that I wanted to take on I wanted to upgrade from a markdown change like in my first PR. In this second PR I set out to find a small code change to make. After staring at the issue board for an hour or two I finally came across one that I was surprised was not taken. I found this open source Facebook messenger app called Caprine. This was and still is really cool to me, the opportunity to work on something that was so well put together and much larger than my previous project.

Caprine - Nezvanična Facebook Messenger aplikacija za Windows, macOS i Linux - Electron, TypeScript, CSS

I too have faced issues with it on Firefox in the past and moved on to an open source application called Caprine. Works pretty well on Windows/MacOS/Linux.

There in an open source program for Linux/Windows, called Caprine, it's on GitHub ( https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine ). It has also a portable version for Windows on https://portapps.io , if you are on a machine that's managed by the company you work for (it's like that for me). It's like the official Messenger app for the desktop, but Messenger came out later.

There's an alternative Messenger Client : Caprine

If you absolutely have to use Facebook Messenger, perhaps you could try a free and open-source client like Caprine, which is for desktop, but there was another one for mobile as well, I just don't remember the name of it (as I personally don't use it / have the need to use Facebook Messenger).

I never actually "solved" this, but I switched to Caprine and I'm no longer having any problems. It actually works much better than the official app (it lets you send audio files, etc).

Reminds me of retroshare, which is fully peer to peer and anonymizing. Anyone here try it before? Meant for closed communities and not open/global so a different niche I suppose

https://retroshare.cc/

Retro Share https://retroshare.cc/ free and open source.

Retroshare via Tor/I2P

Retroshare also offers encrypted connections that meeting hosts and participants can create a network of computers on and layer distributed services on top of it, like discussion forums, text-based chat, and email. This P2P platform is free, open-source, and fully decentralized, designed to provide maximum security and anonymity. It's available to Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows users.

I think you can do that with https://retroshare.cc/

Utopia has similarities to RetroShare, but RetroShare has more capability: portable, forums, channels, boards, Tor/I2P.

For messaging, retroshare is really good, it looks like an old forum messenger, but is free to download. its completely ad free.
