codingonion / uplink

(Pre-Release Software) Secure, Encrypted, P2P chat written atop Warp, IPFS, LibP2P, Dioxus and many more awesome projects and protocols.

Uplink

Privacy First, Modular, P2P messaging client built atop Warp.

Uplink is written in pure Rust with a UI in Dioxus (which is also written in Rust). It was developed as a new foundation for implementing Warp features in a universal application.

The goal should be to build a hyper-customizable application that can run anywhere and support extensions.
