Hey everyone.

I make Peersuite, an opensource free communication platform.

It’s private by default, there’s no sign-in or email collection.

It’s peer-to-peer, there’s no server, after discovery you are connected directly to your friends my AES-GCN encrypted WebRTC channels. It forms a mesh and identifies superpeers. Because there is no server, in order to save your data between sessions, you can download your workspace into a password encrypted file. Happy to answer any questions.

FEATURES: chat with images, PMs, channels, and file send group audio/video calling screensharing kanban board whiteboard for diagrams/flowchartswith PNG export collaborative document editing with formatted PDF export

The best way for self hosting is docker, its on dockerhub as openconstruct/peersuite. You can also download desktop versions from the github or use on the web at https://peersuite.space/

    There is literally no way to do performant e2ee at large scale. e2ee works by encrypting every message for every recipient, on the users device.

    At 1000 users, that’s basically a public room.

      I haven’t had a chance to test the limits of Peersuite, but since it’s a mesh network, I don’t think it would run well with even 100 people.

      @moonpiedumplings @jagged_circle I read your initial question as 1,000 active chat *rooms* (with some large number of users for each), which… seems excessive. That’s what I was referring to.

      1,000 individual private 1-on-1 chats (or group chats with 2-3 users), if that’s what you meant (and especially over a long period of time, with lots of inactive chats), seems like a more common scenario*. If that was your question, I apologize.
