Peer-to-Peer Encrypted Messaging
It's not hard for IRC-style chats, but it gets harder if you want to handle:
* Asynchronous messaging: what if the two devices are not online at the same time, or on disjointed networks? Store the message on a server somewhere? Secure Scuttlebutt[1] relies on devices pulling encrypted data that does not belong to them.
* NAT or firewall hole-punching, though it can be remediated by leveraging other nodes. Some implementations use a DHT[2], but you're often relying on other servers of some sort.
* What you call contact discovery is also typically handled through a DHT of some kind. Yggdrasil-like (or hyperboria, cjdns, .onion) overlay networks are usually able to route to a public key, regardless of how it moves around on the network.
* Push notifications. Either you accept the use of an external server (like the Tox client TRIfA, which has an add-on[3])

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?

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.
