Still any development? #174

Open petrk94 opened 7 years ago

petrk94 commented 7 years ago

Hi, I would like to know whether any development is still on the project? Thanks

hackergrrl commented 7 years ago

I don't think there is any active work going on, but I know that there is still a lot of public interest in the project.

petrk94 commented 7 years ago

@noffle so I think too, but the problem is, in the current status, it is not usable for productive work :/

hackergrrl commented 7 years ago

@petrk94 What do you mean?

petrk94 commented 7 years ago

@noffle the code is not ready for productive work. It has no End to End encryption, need still github login to use it.

Just heard about this project. Disappointed to see that it's not actively being developed. Seems like a cool idea! If you guys ever need a UX designer, let me know :)

I'm very interested in decentralized social media. Espc lately it seems like the web has been overtaken by a few too many giants. Would be nice to see stuff like this take off in a similar way as Mastodon. Ya'll should get on Mastodon or talk to the guys on that project and see if you can join forces! It's a different backend (it uses a federated rather than p2p structure) but still!

@thedonquixotic Have you heard of secure scuttlebutt? It's a distributed (non-centralized, non-federated) social network that lots of great p2p folks hang out on.

Re Friends-like apps, @substack and @karissa were hacking on chatmesh.

I'm super interested in creating a p2p Friends-like app! Are you on IRC or some other medium?

petrk94 commented 6 years ago

I have read about scuttlebutt, but decentral chatting is dangerous, trough criminals etc. can be there and not be banned or get detected for the police, so Im not a fan about it. Im more prefering than Mastodon, Friendica, Matrix or Rocketchat. Selfhosted, yes, but user have to be identifiable
