👋 Looking for other interested folks to continue to evolve the development of Salty.im 🙏 I’ve been hard™ at work on the v2 branch and @doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt has been incredibly helpful so far. Be great ot have a few more folks to join us, some of the v2 highlights include:
- Double Ratchet by default.
- Group Chat (sender/client fan-out for now)
- Much better TUI with background agent.
- Mobile App coming soon™ (iOS in progress, Android next, same codebase)
I spent the day today integrating @xuu@txt.sour.is’s double ratcheting work and ratchet library back into the reference client/broker implementation saltyim as a v2 branch. I completely redesigned and rewrite the salty-chat TUI client as well, which now includes proper notifications and a background agent that keeps running so you never miss any messages. It all “just works”™ and I’m quite happy with the outcome! 🤩 #saltyim #revamp

Holy moly, this is a fantastic 37C3 talk about security researchers getting attacked and they reverse-engineer and fully disclose the entire – very advanced – attack. Operation Triangulation: What You Get When Attack iPhones of Researchers Very impressive!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I have read the white papers for MLS before. I have put a lot of thought on how to do it with salty/ratchet. Its a very good tech for ensuring multiple devices can be joined to an encrypted chat. But it is bloody complicated to implement.

I'm not super a fan of using json. I feel we could still use text as the medium. Maybe a modified version to fix any weakness.

And to add close integration with salty/ratchet for realtime private chat
Ratchet CLI now supports salty or ratchet comms!
ChatGPT is good, but it’s not that good 🤣 I asked it to write a program in Go that performs double ratcheting and well the code is total garbage 😅 – Its only as good as the inputs it was trained on 🤣 #OpenAI #GPT3
