The open encrypted chat protocol

After years and years of talking about it, I’ve finally made it. Toechat is here, and it has been made with simplicity in mind from the start. In this short blog post, I’ll explain how Toechat works under the hood. For implementation-specific details, please visit the repository . Toechat can only do two things.
