A completely secure messaging app

[LinTaru]

I was feeling really bored, so I made a free, super secure, and anonymous chat app. I've been coding with Python for a long time, and with more free time recently, I thought, why not make something fun? I'm not a fan of frontend work, so the design is simple with just some basic Bootstrap.

This project came out of boredom and a bit of stress, haha.

If you're curious, you can check it out at this link.

Please don’t promote something like this as if it's real. I understand it’s a fun project, but it’s risky, and people shouldn’t use it. So, don’t try to advertise it that way.

So we’re just supposed to take your word for it?


Not trying to judge, but from a practical point of view, anyone who values privacy wouldn’t just say, 'Oh, this is perfect.'

Without a detailed explanation of the security measures, it’s not very convincing.

Also, saying "Everything is a matter of trust" is incorrect when it comes to cryptography. Public key encryption exists for a reason.

How can I promote my questionable stuff?

Create a story around it, and it’ll get attention.

But definitely not on MMO.

Exactly!

Trust doesn’t matter when you can clearly show how you’ll protect your users. Even then, using open-source software or getting a trusted third party to audit it adds even more trust.

This could be an interesting project, but in a privacy-focused group, you'll get criticized and made fun of. Also, nothing on your site suggests "this is just a fun project, don’t take it seriously."

Thanks for sharing the app!

Yep. The "funny" part is that this isn’t E2E encrypted (if it was, he couldn’t "read everything") and it's not open-source either

I made it to keep things anonymous and encrypted (data in the database). Of course, it's not 100% safe, and I'm not promoting it. I just wanted to share something I created during some bored days. When I say it's not 100% safe, I mean I can decrypt all the data and read it, but honestly, I can’t tell who it is because the app doesn’t collect any personal info like IP addresses or log the IPs you use. That way, it's anonymous.

The road to trouble is made of good ideas

Of course, it's not 100% safe, and I'm not promoting it. I just wanted to share something I created during some bored days.

Next, share the code on GitHub instead of launching it as a complete security tool.

It's not even close to being safe at all.

This site is totally

Is it secure?
Yup, believe me, it is.

The cartoon girl in the corner definitely makes this seem reliable.
