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/-

I’ve looked into the sources because that was weird to me as well.
It’s because the web “client” is using nginx as a local web server. You’re selfhosting the web client
The app still is 100% a frontend js client
OP did link to their public instance of the client, but gives more opportunities
It’s html and javascript, the release comes with loose chromium files, ffmpeg binary and a 190MB executable. The link typo hasn’t been fixed in hours, they don’t link to the github, they misuse terminology, etc. and it’s version 0.3.
That’s a no from me.
Is this open source? Otherwise this feels like a honey pot.
Asked the same question I was gonna, so I did the googling.

AGPL
And revolt was right there being all open source and stuff
But it’s not decentralized
You mean Matrix, surely
Revolt is not E2EE, h fortunately.
Go tell 'em! Why have alternatives if we can just put all our eggs in one, holey, basket?

This needs to be widely known. I didn’t test all the functions yet, but if this works, this is big!
That’s so cool, but wouldn’t everyone need automat port forwarding/opening like UPnP IGD / PCP to initiate connection? Not everyone has this enabled
Not trying to shill, but seems like a perfect opportunity to integrate Tailscale for network access and then use the funnel feature to connect to peers.
As good as tailscale is, I do so loathe it. It does make things easy, but I have to trust a 3rd party with my traffic and for me thats just no bueno.
The website gives a 404 error
I removed the dash at the end. Guess it was a typo
I’ll spin this up in docker and check it out tomorrow
I don’t want to rain on your parade, but to claim you’re a Discord alternative is like saying a box is a an alternative to a luxury resort. You’ve got a lot of work to do before being a Discord alternative.
Yeah, some consider a room in a Prison a luxury resort 🤷♂️!
Libre Software? Push-To-Talk?
Sentences?
OP not your pet
