Uplink
Privacy First, Modular, P2P messaging client built atop Warp.
Uplink is written in pure Rust with a UI in Dioxus (which is also written in Rust). It was developed as a new foundation for implementing Warp features in a universal application.
The goal should be to build a hyper-customizable application that can run anywhere and support extensions.
Pre-Compiled Development
For rapid inspection of our deployed binaries, you can open the settings once signed into Uplink, then navigate to About and click the version number 10 times, enabling a Developer section in the settings. From here, you can enable experimental features and helpful dev tools.
Quickstart
To get running fast, ensure you have Rust installed.
Standard Run:
cargo run --bin uplinkRapid Release Testing: This version will run close to release but without recompiling crates every time.
