EncryptedMessenger

This is a small encrypted peer to peer messenger application.

I've been frustrated with a lot of the messaging software I've tried over the past few years.
Some spam you with ads, others rely on featureless, decade old technology and some just plain don't work with recurring bugs that are left unfixed for years. (Looking at you Discord, with the repeating message bug...).
Also you have to send all your data to some random company and assume they won't peek at your conversations for profit.

This software aims to solve these problem but realistically it's far from being there yet. It's mostly been a learning tool for me so I wouldn't rely on the encryption to keep your messages safe. Tho' I suppose since it's peer to peer the risk is mitigated, and the encryption, even if flawed in some unknown way, should keep them safe from automatic data mining by whatever pipes you send them through.
