Yes, and that's what I'm saying - the attach vector is small. There isn't much on the network to take advantage of. It's basically one giant value-encrypted lookup table

Everything on your list except one is possible with servers + crypto. The exception is permissionless operation. Any server-based design has an "operator" who can be compromised. T…

But notice your own option: "stop communicating with people you don't trust." For a group, kick is an option: everyone stops including X, at once. And that's where the leader matte…

Sure, the offline delivery part can be thought of as e-mail-ish. Is that what you're going for?

I've looked now... We have a similar design regarding the leadership roles, with the difference that they support multiple "leaders". However, they use a full-mesh which means send…

This is genuinely cool (and weird that I haven't heard of it). I released the 1.0 version today, but I'm already thinking about improvements for v2. Hopefully you will figure it ou…

Thank you!

Sure, but what is there to hijack in a messenger platform? The groups basically act as their own separate islands, and everything is signed for their buckets. Worst thing that an a…

The issue with that is that when there is no "leader", there is also no way to guarantee kicking someone out. Signal didn't have the kick option for years, and they only added it o…

I understand the vision, but I would still have to rotate keys through different groups. It doesn't solve anything, it just gives the illusion of a clean group delete-then-rebuild

I agree, and since there is no mobile version, this won't replace your whatsapp, and it was never designed for that. The actual people I see using this: - People who want anonymous…

Kiyeovo is a decentralized, end-to-end encrypted messenger. It requires no accounts, no email, no central servers. Peers find each other and talk directly over libp2p. kad-DHT stor…

The repo is open sourced so issues can be raised. I also included my email inside the app's info dialog

I have verified that the app works without an issue on clean installations of Ubuntu, Debian and MacOS. I have spent the last 2 days testing the app by pretending to be a malicious…

I’m releasing 1.0 of an open-source desktop P2P messenger tomorrow - Realman78/Kiyeovo on GitHub. In short, it's a feature rich messenger with clearnet “Fast mode” and an optional …

I have been working on Kiyeovo - an open-source desktop P2P messenger with an optional anonymous mode - for almost a year now. The plan is to go full-release on 7th of July. Curren…

SwiperTab is a firefox add-on that enables you to clean up your tabs by swiping left/right, just like on Tinder. This project was fully done by Claude and I described that journey …

In this blog post, I share my experience of fully letting the AI take over the wheel. My goal was to complete one of my small side-projects without having to think about it (while …

https://github.com/Realman78/Kiyeovo - I'm currently working towards the full release of my P2P dual-network mode messenger which is currently in beta. The reviews were overwhelmin…

Haha, it's roughly pronounced as it's typed out. The name actually comes from a Croatian dialect. "Ki je ovo" translates to "who is this" -> and then when you connect the words and…

The two modes are in one app for convenience, but they are separate systems. IMO, the risk is not data leaking between mode protocols/DHT, but rather the user linking their identit…
