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/
So far really liking it! Very high quality screenshare, will be testing with more peers tonight. I had one question: I saw elsewhere you recommended running in docker for more permanence. Does that mean if everyone leaves a room and its hosted on docker things are saved and you can rejoin? Or would the last person leaving need to export the board? Either way I’m testing more tonight, just curious.
Thanks! Yeah if there’s bandwidth video streams at full resolution. Currently you have to export the workspace. I’m going to build a node server for it down the road. There are still things in my roadmap before then though.
Regardless, working great! It has many features that other discord alternatives don’t. I’ll be using it and following development closely!
