Hello everyone, about a month ago I open-sourced my web app Peersuite. It's peer-to-peer instead of having servers, and all data is encrypted in transit with AES-GCM algorithm.

Features:

  • chat with channels, images, PMs, and file send ( no size limit)
  • audio/video conferencing No hard cap on users but since it's a mesh network it would degrade at over 15 users
  • Screensharing tab, window, or entire screen
  • whiteboard for diagrams/drawing
  • group document creation/editing
  • kanban board for task management

Since there is no server, you can download a workspace to an encrypted file to restore later, this saves you chats, documents, everything. This software is new, and still undergoing heavy development, but I think it's a valid choice over closed source solutions with no encryption.

Currently you can use it on the web at https://peersuite.space/ Download desktop versions from github Download docker image from https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/openconstruct/peersuite

You can also install it as a PWA on desktop or mobile. I have an android port in the works, If anyone would like to test let that me know, and I'll PM you for your email.

I've also done some initial work on a nodejs server so that you can keep a workspace open 24/7 effectively having a server.

Super happy to get any kind of feedback, positive or negative.

Is there any way to moderate the chats?

Asking the real questions here.

It would be nice if it automatically switched to dark mode when that's my browser/system preference.

Bro casually made an app with features that the Revolt team can't figure out for years. I could say it's extremely impressive but to me it just shows the sheer incompetence of Revolt devs.

I think in Revolt's case it's not about not knowing how to implement but cost. Revolt is server based so video streaming would cost a lot of money. P2P uses your own hardware so no cost.

The downside is synchronization difficulties (which this seems to have solved though) and message permanence (which this still doesn't have an easy way to do for an average user).
