    You're quoting me back at me. The quote is still correct. The backend doesn't exist. The messenger works. If that breaks your mental model of how software should be built — good. T…

    That’s literally what release 1.03 enables.

    Fixed last night. The GitHub-specific adapter is now one of several.

    That’s exactly what I thought after posting — so now it supports end‑to‑end encryption without a handshake. Still a single HTML file. Still no backend.

    documentation was updated in the last few days. You might want to read the section about the funny legal collision this architecture creates — not sure, but it might apply to other…

    My take: hitting three API endpoints doesn’t require a bundler or 400 MB of node_modules — most apps, especially hobby single‑page projects, can and should be built without a frame…

    We don't say no backend — we say not our backend.

    Email and SMS are faster. Also monitored, moderated, and mined. Macaroni doesn't fix speed. It fixes who holds the keys — and who gets sued. That's the point.

    You might find this branch interesting: https://github.com/vanyapr/makaroshki/tree/macaroni Turns out the messenger wasn’t enough, so now it also stores its own lore.

    The closing tag is mandatory because Macaroni Messenger plugins are inserted immediately before it. This is the convention defined by the plugin system.

    That’s fair criticism of the current implementation. The idea isn’t that transport magically disappears. The idea is that users don’t have to deploy, operate, pay for, or even thin…

    True, but imagine this use case: A messenger file with hardcoded settings and a hardcoded PGP key, stored on a USB stick. You send a message. Then you physically destroy the USB st…

    You just described the Macaroni plugin system — plugins are literally appended as tags before the closing tag.

    That’s fair, although GitHub is just the default transport because it requires zero setup. The protocol itself isn’t tied to GitHub and works with any Git remote. If GitHub ever de…

    The paradox is that Macaroni Messenger is absolutely a joke project. But once you reduce everything to Git + JSON, adding things like PGP, age, signatures, encrypted attachments, o…
