    P2p encrypted file sharing is sadly still an unsolved problem even though file sharing is basically the whole premise of the internet.

    Will look at this when we implement p2p file sharing into https://delta.chat/

      thanks for your input, but can you explain what you mean by “unsolved problem”?.. p2p encrypted file transfer is demonstrated in the app.

        I mean compiling an app to do that seems quite a high barrier to entry. I guess you could use the web version on mobile too maybe?

    How does this differ from matrix?

      its browser based. it uses webrtc to create p2p connections between browsers. concepts like authentication takes the form of using cryptography capabilities of a typical browser. the storage of data from messages to encryption keys are stored in indexedDB as provided by the browser of your choice. there is an emphesis on client-side browser-based capabilities in all parts of the app.

      matrix is a good peer reviewed and generally reccommended solution. this project isnt intended to replace any existing solution. there are many other similar projects out there, but i notice there arent many presented as webapps. this is my attempt.
