I think it should have the links for more information.
The android app is poorly maintained I would stick to the website based version which I actively work on. I'm using tauri to wrap the webapp. I'm no java developer, that's all tauri boilerplate.
Ultimately this is intended to be a general purpose messaging app. But it isn't as good as any of the app you've suggested. I sharing it because it demonstrates a fairly unique browser based architecture. Aiming for secure client-side cryptography.
Unlike other solutions, as a webapp users can get started without installing or registering.
Thanks. Yes, fully web based is much better for new users. That means not p2p though, right?
I'll look at it some more when I can.
P2P using peerjs (webrtc). Think of it like a gui for peerjs-server.
Aha thanks.
