Cool! Now, do this for a secure communications platform that has an open-source back-end (and front-end of course), and can be federated.

Isn't Signal open source?

The backend is centralised and Trust Me Bro

Ok I get it. Too bad about that. Yeah, we need easily hosted encrypted relays.

Keychat is inspired by the postal system — stamps, post offices, letters.

Keychat uses Bitcoin ecash as stamps and Nostr relays as post offices.

Keychat uses Signal/MLS protocol to ensure message encryption security and meta-data privacy.

Yes, I know about Keychat. It still needs to mature some - the deb package is likely for trixie and doesn't work on my Whonix workstation, and the AppImage flickers a lot but at least seems to work. I'm also not really convinced MLS is a good idea. But Keychat is a cool nostr thingy.

Currently, Signal’s group chats primarily use the Sender Key scheme, rather than the previous pairwise-group approach.

The post compromise security of the Sender Keys group is not as strong as that of MLS groups.
