Hi, creator here. This is a basic anonymous chat with video conferencing, implemented over a federated network of nodes that communicate over encrypted connections, exchanging events.

Basically, anyone can run their own node and access the services implemented over this infrastructure or connect to an existing node. For now, only this chat demo is implemented. One can choose to run its own node locally and accesses the chat app via their local node, the communication will be effectively end-to-end encrypted this way.

I'm here to answer any questions.

compare it to alternatives

I'm really not that knowledgeable about the alternatives. I would say that this is a very rudimentary form of IRC in terms of functionalities, but with encrypted connection between the nodes and making it easy for a user to run its own node. It offers a basic video conferencing feature as well.
