Rework chats and enable end-to-end encryption #131

Closed Cl0v1s closed 1 year ago

Cl0v1s commented 1 year ago

Chats component are old expose some issues on mobile (two scrollable panels, too small input field). There is no true perks to use chats for now as they dont do more than direct statuses.

Implementing end-to-end encryption on chat would allow to create a true interest for them, since it's simply not really possible using ActivityPub (so not possible with direct statuses), while allowing communities to exchange in a truly safe space, even if the server is compromised.

Akkoma won't support chats, so it would be only usefull for pleroma users and some Akkoma forks (such as the one we are using on bdx.town)

@Cl0v1s do we keep this as a long-term plan or do we drop it all ? I close it for now but feel free to reopen it if needed !
