¿wut?

Serverless, IPFS, Tweetnacl-js-based chat application for terminal in an ncurses style

Goals

Things to do, ranked

• DM UI is broken and needs UX love
• Tab-completion of peer names, commands
• Tab / arrows to focus UI elements
• Social Proofs, see: https://github.com/IBM/ipfs-social-proof
• Tests
• DMs List UI
• Paste screenshots into chat
• Keys / keychain persistence
• Key stretching / BIP-39 password for keychain, configuration data.
• Keybase-style UI layout
• Encrypted file sharing via tweetnacl-js & IPFS file storage
• SES-based plugins, (See: Secure ECMAScript https://github.com/Agoric/SES-shim )
• Group encrypted chat
• Child_process for IPFS, workers for crypto? Discuss.
• Emojis
• Encrypted message persistence in IPFS via OrbitDB, js-threads?

Fixed

• Major issue: Make pubsub work outside local networks: Works now via webrtc-star server as bootstrap node
• Serverless 'lobby' chat multiple participants
• Serverless E2E encrypted chat for 2 participants (at first)
• As nerdy as possbile, hence the ncurses style
