Hi, I just wanted to share that some deltachat developer made 9front work as an webxdc app using v86 (the browser VM). Here's a fediverse thread with screenshots etc: https://fosstodon.org/@link2xt/114067539216670904
For those who don't know, deltachat is a chat platform that's using the existing mail infrastructure with security features like autocrypt to establish e2ee and decentralized chats (including group chats). At some point, they developed(?) or integrated webxdc as a standard for smaller webapps that run locally and can be shared as a zip file (absolutely no additional servers). For webxdc apps, there's a protocol for direct P2P networking, basically sending messages around. 9front in that v86 app is capable of networking using that mechanism, so it _should_ be possible to use that deltachat webxdc network as a VPN between multiple virtual 9front instances, running on different chat participants. Disclaimer: I'm just sharing the news, I didn't do anything to make that work. sirjofri ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T9c3e7a12cb2b7621-M0dcda3f3c0427d334ccd3b49 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
