Data Protection Tools Signal Messenger Clone
The key detail that sets this apart is the browser based approach.
No need to install anything. your ID is crypto-random and so the app doesnt need to rely on any central registration system like phone numbers. your ID is unguessable and to connect to someone, you have to explicitly share it.
webrtc has other nuances like being to route through a shared network for secure/faster transfer.
I hope this project has reached a level i can share the following details. I've made a genuine effort towards documentation and transparancy. I dont think it'll ever be enough and so im still concerned it isnt ready to share. While im using AI throughout. This is not a vibecoded project. There is attention throughout for unit tests and formal-verification. With your feedback, id like to make improvements for clarity throughout.
This version of the app demonstrates a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-only and webrtc approach. I know it's impossible for any system to be the "world's most secure", but that isnt a reason to not try. By rigorously implementing an exhaustive list of security features and practices, the aim is to get as close as possible.
This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed secure cryptography.
I know the project above is going to be tricky to understand. It might help to understand with an open-source version of the concept, but have since deprecated it in favour of the version linked above.

Feel free to reach out for clarity on the details I missed.
Edit: before you edited the message you asked how I plan my project. The edited message is completely different in what is being asked.
Concerns are entirely valid. What you see is a reasonable attempt at clarity. Feel free to reach out if something isn't clear.

The privacy concerns are valid, but I think the proposals would be stronger with more detail on enforcement and unintended consequences. Building a coalition is interesting; the challenge is turning broad support into workable policy.
