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 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.

Th UI isn't there, hopefully someone with a great sense of design puts in a PR.

Yeah, some consider a room in Prison a luxury resort 🤷‍♂️!
