Getting Started with Decentralized P2P Chat

Welcome to positive-intentions, your secure and private peer-to-peer chat application. Experience decentralized messaging without registration, central servers, or data collection. Here's your complete guide to getting started with our privacy-focused communication platform.

Setting Up Your Profile​

Pods

  1. Choose a Username: Select a username that represents you in the chat environment.

  2. Add an Avatar: Personalize your profile by uploading an avatar image.

  3. Create Your Crypto Signature:

    • You'll be presented with a canvas where you can draw or write.
    • This input serves as user-generated entropy, enhancing our app's cryptographic capabilities.
    • Your signature adds an extra layer of randomness to our security measures.

  4. Select Your Connection ID Scheme: Choose how you want your connection ID to be generated:

    • Random String: A completely random alphanumeric string
    • Animals: Your ID will be based on animal names
    • Countries: Your ID will use country names
    • Months: Your ID will incorporate month names

  5. Select Peerjs-server: the default peerjs-server is a great way to get started, but you can also use your own and specify the URL.
