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/

    This space definitely needs competition

    I like Matrix, but I do run into issues, like messages not being decrypted even though I verified my session. The average user is not ready for it. Or rather, it’s not ready for the average user

      EVERYTHING is encrypted in peersuite, it’s mandatory. I tried to make the UI intuitive and simple, but IDK if I’m great at it.

        but IDK if I’m great at it.

        Simples is best, hands down. Maybe some tooltips wouldn’t go amiss on your demo page?

        But as someone else pointed out, a link to the GitHub either in the header or footer of your demo page would be ace too. It was the first thing I looked for this morning seeing your posts and had to come back to the comments to find it 🙈

        Keep up the great work, and I shared between our nerd group and they have eyeballs on it. Seems a no brainer for teams collaborating online where we’ve got used of shitty Slack 🤢 Dicksword whatever.

        ninjaedit: if you want some help Android app wise, give us a ping. I have a few bored devs lurking looking for app ideas ;)

          I think I’m going to go the route of buildind a PWA first then using bubblewrap to generate an APK. I tried capacitor, but audio/video didn’t work, it has meh WebRTC support.
