polyproto, Rust and love.

Proprietary chat services suck. The Polyphony project aims to create easy to use, federated and secure communications software and protocols.
- Re-imagine federation and identity: With polyproto, we are creating a modern, simple and resilient identity federation and trusted message exchange protocol which is ready for real-world happenings such as instances shutting down or being unreachable. We want to make federation feasible for everyone, not just tech-savvy people. polyproto-chat is a new chat protocol built on top of polyproto, which can be implemented and extended upon by anyone.
- Create modern, reliable and easy to use chat software: With Polyphony, chorus and symfonia, we are developing an alternative to proprietary chat services. We are compatible with Spacebar Chat, an open-source re-implementation of the Discord API, which means that you can use Polyphony with Spacebar and other services that are compatible with this API. No need to leave behind your friends who are using other services!
- Be open, stay open: Through the MPL-2.0 license, we ensure that our software can be used by anyone, for any(-ish) purpose. The only thing we ask is that improvements and changes to our software stay open source as well. Our software should benefit the general public, not corporations.
We are currently working on the following things:
| Repository | Description |
|---|---|
| polyproto | A modern, simple and secure identity federation and trusted message exchange protocol. |
