Veilid & VeilidChat: New Privacy-Focused Messaging Tools Launch
Tech enthusiasts Jonathan and his team have launched Veilid and VeilidChat, a pair of innovative communication tools designed with privacy and security at their core. The project, inspired by the Tor network, aims to provide a decentralized alternative to mainstream messaging platforms.
The journey began with Veilid, a peer-to-peer networking framework that Jonathan developed, inspired by the privacy-focused Tor network. Built on top of Veilid is VeilidChat, an encrypted messaging application that leverages the secure infrastructure provided by its parent framework.
The team behind Veilid believes in open-source development. As such, they have made the source code of Veilid available to the public via GitLab. Interested developers can find it at https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilid. Moreover, the team has published a developer book at https://veilid.gitlab.io/developer-book/index.html, offering insights into the project's workings and encouraging contributions.
Jonathan and his team engage with their audience through a podcast. Listeners are invited to suggest guests for future interviews, fostering a collaborative community around the project.
Veilid and VeilidChat represent a significant step towards secure, private, and decentralized communication. With its open-source nature and community-driven approach, the project offers a promising alternative in the realm of digital communication. The live recordings of the team's podcast can be watched on the podcast's YouTube channel.
