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/

github - https://github.com/openconstruct/Peersuite

This needs to be widely known. I didn't test all the functions yet, but if this works, this is big!

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Everything works!

That was my first thought.

[–] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Any reason you chose github vs codeberg? Just wondering. Gave your project a star regardless. Nice work!

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I've been on github for like 8 years now, familiarity, plus the build tools are nice, github actions builds the docker images for me now

And revolt was right there being all open source and stuff

[–] Lemmchen@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago

Revolt is not E2EE, h fortunately.

But it's not decentralized

How do you think matrix feels.

Go tell 'em! Why have alternatives if we can just put all our eggs in one, holey, basket?

This looks very promising, thank you very much! Going to fully test it out tomorrow.

Is there anything planned to have a persistent server option (self-hosted)?

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, I plan to create a node server for permanent rooms. It will allow you to name the server, which then acts like a superpeer and keeps the workspace open and saves progress every 10-30 minutes.

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

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Nah it uses https ports which are ususally open

[–] Trimatrix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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.

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I'll look into it. currently using trystero-torrent.

The website gives a 404 error

[–] Mikelius@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago

I removed the dash at the end. Guess it was a typo

[–] Cenotaph@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'll spin this up in docker and check it out tomorrow

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Let me know what you think!

[–] Cenotaph@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So far really liking it! Very high quality screenshare, will be testing with more peers tonight. I had one question: I saw elsewhere you recommended running in docker for more permanence. Does that mean if everyone leaves a room and its hosted on docker things are saved and you can rejoin? Or would the last person leaving need to export the board? Either way I'm testing more tonight, just curious.

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks! Yeah if there's bandwidth video streams at full resolution. Currently you have to export the workspace. I'm going to build a node server for it down the road. There are still things in my roadmap before then though.

[–] Cenotaph@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

Regardless, working great! It has many features that other discord alternatives don't. I'll be using it and following development closely!
