This is exceptional. This truly looks like the perfect decentralised chat service.
I really hope this takes off, but knowing most people, it will likely remain niche for a long while till something like Signal falls (which I don’t wish for to happen btw).
Is there a whitepaper or anything else that explains the details of the privacy measures? I skimmed through the README, but I’d like more detail.
Thank you for bringing this to the open. I hope that as time goes on, this gets more attention and gets adopted by the community (I can’t force my family to use anything other than corporate spyware, and I personally have no need for chat apps, but I hope someone does).
Thanks
Here’s the paper they linked to from the README: https://berty.tech/docs/protocol/
How does it work? Is this similar to Briar?
I don’t know anything about it but Berty uses the Wesh protocol. Here’s documentation from their website if you’d like to read into it.
Looks interesting, is the android app available any other way than the playstore? On the github page I can only see files for windows and linux, maybe I am missing something obvious here.
Looks very promising, but probably and unfortunately will lack mass adoption
