P2P messenger with 2 network modes: Fast and Tor

What it does

Kiyeovo is a decentralized peer-to-peer messenger. Realtime direct messages are end-to-end encrypted Messages can fall back to offline delivery when the other side is not online Fast mode is for normal day-to-day use: lower latency, and 1:1 audio/video calling Tor mode provides better anonymity, but is slower and less convenient Group chats, encrypted file transfer, and trusted profile import/export No central account or message server; you can use the default bootstrap/relay setup or self-host

    A P2P messenger with dual network modes (Fast and Tor)Apr 2026 · github.com · ▲39

    Hello HN, I have been working on a desktop P2P messenger called Kiyeovo for the last ~8 months, and I just published its beta version. Quick backstory: It started out as a CLI application for my Graduate Thesis, where I tried to make the most secure and private messenger application possible. Then, I transformed it into a desktop application, gave it "clearnet" support and added a bunch of features. Short summary: The app runs in 2 completely isolated modes: - fast mode: relay/DCUtR -> lower latency, calls support - anonymous mode: Tor message routing -> slower, anonymous These modes…

    Kiyeovo is a decentralized, end-to-end encrypted messenger. It requires no accounts, no email, no central servers.

More details are in the repository README, but in short, here are the features: - realtime end-to-end encrypted messages - Direct & group video and audio calls with screen sharing options - messages securely persisted when the other side is not online -…

    Hi HN! Few months ago I've shared a new kind of markdown editor that we (a team of three from the Czech Republic) have been working on (HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46144801). What resonated with folks the most was Kraa's unique ‘real-real-time’ chat feature. We have now acted on this feedback, improved the chat features, and made what we call Kraa Trees. Trees allow anyone to create a light-weight community / chat channels. It would be a stretch to call it an alternative to Discord, yet, but we hope that the frictionless nature of Trees will make them…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
