Is this some kind of actually new IM, or yet another fork of XMPP/Conversations?
I made this from scratch lol
How does it work under the hood? I mean how do you hook up and teconnect with people in a decentralised manner?
It works similar to Matrix which is federated
Any pointers on how that works :-D ?
Homeserver is essentially a distributed chat relay so clients post messages to rooms and the server relays those messages to its peers
And the server is where?
Official homeserver (https://phoenixim.site/) is hosted on a VPS and all homeservers are interconnected via federation
I see it has Tor as a dependency. Does it make use of onion routing? in which way?
Official homeserver supports federation over onion services and dockerfile hosts homeserver as onion service that’s why i added Tor as a dependency
Neato. Always cool to see a new approach. Synapse/Matrix is excellent, but, running a federated Matrix server is an exercise in frustration. So many version forks, so many hard crashes. :(
i think synapse is just kind of awful. i’m running a continuwuity (fork of conduwuit) server, and it’s been incredibly straightforward and painless compared to synapse
does it work across LAN or p2p Bluetooth without WAN like Briar, Cwtch, etc?
Only looked at the
Cargo.tomlfiles.- (pet peeve) Considering there is (presumably) no compatibility concerns, why not use an efficient binary format instead of JSON?
- Not checking in
Cargo.lockfiles, and using=dependency versions forPhoenix_Desktop, is a bit odd!
Will nostr consider decentralised end to end encrypted ?
can you create a flatpak, appimage, or something rather than the binary?
Why?
Why not?
Because we already have hundreds of them?
