Having spent time this week looking at open source chat packages this is a wonderful surprise.

I realize your focus is on the messaging, auth, Storage, etc., but I'm betting adding a screenshot of the UI to the readme.md would significantly increase adoption of the project.

JW, have you seen any self-hosted anonymous, no registration, e2e encrypted, ephemeral messaging tools? Bonus points for mobile apps that prevent screen caps.

I'd love a Bring-Your-Own-Network with above features that doesn't require SMS, email, etc. registration that "private" apps like Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp, etc have to growth hack to mainstream adoption.
