Hi,
Trying to move group chat from telegram to a more private option, but the key feature is its web interface which is so convenient…
I’ve checked SimpleX, Session, Briar & Element-Matrix, but the first 3 do not have a web version and the latest only has a free version for self-hosting and I haven’t looked into self-hosting yet.
I’d completely understand if what I’m looking for doesn’t exist for free, but if anyone has a suggestion here, I’m interested!
Cheers
E2EE with a server web interface is a technical impossibility. The ends are the clients. By definition the server is only there to pass encrypted data from client to client. Presumably you can make this work with a web client using the browser’s local storage, but at that point you’re not actually looking at a web site and you might as well just use the official app. This is one reason why Telegram doesn’t do encryption by default: group chats are particularly hard to do with EE2E.
JavaScript runs on the client. It’s fairly easy to do the encryption there.
