Hey everyone.

I make Peersuite, an opensource free communication platform.

It’s private by default, there’s no sign-in or email collection.

It’s peer-to-peer, there’s no server, after discovery you are connected directly to your friends my AES-GCN encrypted WebRTC channels. It forms a mesh and identifies superpeers. Because there is no server, in order to save your data between sessions, you can download your workspace into a password encrypted file. Happy to answer any questions.

FEATURES:

  • chat with images, PMs, channels, and file send
  • group audio/video calling
  • screensharing
  • kanban board
  • whiteboard for diagrams/flowchartswith PNG export
  • collaborative document editing with formatted PDF export

The best way for self hosting is docker, its on dockerhub as openconstruct/peersuite. You can also download desktop versions from the github or use on the web at https://peersuite.space/

      It doesn’t contradict by definition. So ipfs is also decentralized yet you will need to run a client /server. So the client is also the server. Allowing you to connect to a mesh decentralized system. Just like torrent is also both a client and a server.

      Yes, it takes an initial connection for discovery. The peers need to know how to find each other.

          If you are hosting you send them the room code and a password. You can save a workspace and restart it later, so if you had an active chat it would reload automatically when you imported the file

            That’s no what I’m asking. If I open the site and create a workspace, then close the window, how do I get back into my workspace?

              I’m guessing if you were the last person to close this session, all chat would be lost, unless you saved it to the file.

              OP mentioned that they were working on a self-host version that persists.

      I’ve looked into the sources because that was weird to me as well.

      It’s because the web “client” is using nginx as a local web server. You’re selfhosting the web client

      The app still is 100% a frontend js client

      OP did link to their public instance of the client, but gives more opportunities
