    Only looked at the Cargo.toml files.

    • (pet peeve) Considering there is (presumably) no compatibility concerns, why not use an efficient binary format instead of JSON?
    • Not checking in Cargo.lock files, and using = dependency versions for Phoenix_Desktop, is a bit odd!

    Is this some kind of actually new IM, or yet another fork of XMPP/Conversations?

        How does it work under the hood? I mean how do you hook up and teconnect with people in a decentralised manner?

          It works similar to Matrix which is federated

              Homeserver is essentially a distributed chat relay so clients post messages to rooms and the server relays those messages to its peers

                  Official homeserver (https://phoenixim.site/) is hosted on a VPS and all homeservers are interconnected via federation

            I see it has Tor as a dependency. Does it make use of onion routing? in which way?

              Official homeserver supports federation over onion services and dockerfile hosts homeserver as onion service that’s why i added Tor as a dependency

        Neato. Always cool to see a new approach. Synapse/Matrix is excellent, but, running a federated Matrix server is an exercise in frustration. So many version forks, so many hard crashes. :(

          i think synapse is just kind of awful. i’m running a continuwuity (fork of conduwuit) server, and it’s been incredibly straightforward and painless compared to synapse
