Browser-first decentralized chat with end-to-end encryption

A browser-focused decentralized chat application that emphasizes privacy, peer-to-peer communication, and browser-based security. It provides a local-first experience using browser storage and modern web peer technologies to connect users directly.
Key Features
- End-to-end encrypted messaging for private conversations
- Peer-to-peer file sharing and real-time connections using WebRTC
- Voice and video calling capabilities with low-latency streams
- Mixed-reality / shared virtual spaces for immersive interactions
- Image board and community feed for shared media discovery
- Webtop environment offering a desktop-like experience in the browser
- Local-first/browser storage model to keep data primarily client-side
- Multi-platform build support (PWA, mobile builds via Capacitor, desktop via Tauri) and Docker-friendly development
Use Cases
- Secure, private one-to-one or small-group conversations without centralized servers
- Real-time file, voice and video communication between peers for collaboration
- Community-driven image sharing and lightweight social feed within a privacy-focused app
Limitations and Considerations
- Project is experimental and explicitly marked not production-ready; may contain bugs and incomplete features
- Browser storage synchronization can cause conflicts when multiple tabs or devices use the same storage
- Feature maturity varies (mobile/desktop builds require platform-specific toolchains) and there is limited enterprise-grade infrastructure or support
In summary, positive-intentions Chat is a privacy-oriented, experimental browser-first chat platform that leverages WebRTC and local storage to deliver decentralized messaging, media sharing, and multimodal real-time communication. It is best suited for testing, research, and small-scale private deployments while the project matures.
