  • sydent

  • I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance.

  • veilid

  • > Veilid is a peer-to-peer network and application framework released by the Cult of the Dead Cow on August 11, 2023, at DEF CON 31.

VeilidChat is a secure messaging application built on Veilid.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veilid

    > Veilid is an open-source, peer-to-peer, mobile-first, networked application framework.

    > The framework is conceptually similar to IPFS and Tor, but faster and designed from the ground-up to provide all services over a privately routed network.

    > The framework enables development of fully-distributed applications without a 'blockchain' or a 'transactional layer' at their base.

    > The framework can be included as part of user-facing applications or run as a 'headless node' for power users who wish to help build the network.
