Hello dev community, I have been working on a desktop P2P messenger called Kiyeovo for the last ~8 months, and I just published its beta version. Quick backstory: It started out as a CLI application for my Graduate Thesis, where I tried to make the most secure and private messenger application possible. Then, I transformed it into a desktop application, gave it "clearnet" support and added a bunch of features. The app runs in 2 completely isolated modes: fast mode: relay/DCUtR -> lower latency, calls support anonymous mode: Tor message routing -> slower, anonymous These modes use different protocol IDs, DHT namespaces, pubsub topics and storage scopes so there’s no data crossover between them. Messaging works peer-to-peer when possible, but falls back to DHT “offline buckets” when peers are offline. Messages are acknowledged and pruned after delivery. Group chat uses: - GossipSub for realtime delivery - control messages over offline buckets - ACK/republish cycles for reliability
