Comm

Crypto-native messaging based on federated keyservers
(think Web3 Discord)

We're hiring for engineers and a designer! Preferably in NYC 🗽

4/ Creating a fully encrypted, Discord-style messenger was impossible due to latency & other tech limitations.

But Comm found a solution that functions even better for users 🌱 👇

3/ Everyone in crypto uses Telegram, which is UNENCRYPTED 😱

Why?

Because encrypted messengers are mid.

And encrypted messengers for communities are nonexistent.

@Ashoat has built the solution with @CommDotApp 👇

got to join @thattallguy and @nnnnicholas on @seedclub Internet Explorers last Fri!

check out these recap vids for a basic idea of what @CommDotApp is about

mfers have been the earliest adopters/pioneers of many leading protocols/apps in crypto today.

i’ve personally been interested in E2E encryption as it relates to messaging…

started testing out @CommDotApp yesterday mostly bc it has connect with @farcaster_xyz already set up…killer use case of open social graph.

haven’t met the team yet…lot to learn/understand in regards to their approach…but thought i’d share as i begin exploring.

@cwgoes We're working on this at @CommDotApp, launching later this month!! Check out https://t.co/t1jVQGVOA6

welcome to comm code corner episode 1

this is where we encrypt your messages: https://t.co/ZgDUjgOshx

all of our code is open source. pls star :)

home screen cluttered with muted group chats?

when you mute a comm chat, it's moved to a separate tab.

[Comm @CommDotApp]

We want to let communities build mini-apps specific to their community's wants and needs.

Which mini-apps would you want for your community?

[Comm @CommDotApp]

Big tech companies are training their AI models on your data, in some cases without asking for your consent.

Keep your data away from their servers: Comm's E2E encryption ensures that your messages can't be seen by Google, Apple, or even ourselves.

[Comm @CommDotApp]

When you see an ENS name on Comm, you have cryptographic proof you're talking to the owner.

ENS resolution happens locally on Comm clients based on wallet addresses. Wallet addresses are attested by signature during SIWE, and that signature is individually verified on clients.

[Comm @CommDotApp]

All the formatting options you could ever want are natively accessible in any message you send.

[Comm @CommDotApp]

Comm is built for async messaging.

Discord forces admins to hack around limited formatting options when composing long-form content. In contrast, Comm has full Markdown support – everything ranging from links, to subheadings, to nested bullet points.

[Comm @CommDotApp]

Comm supports Markdown so you can be as expressive as you want, when you want.

Running your own keyserver ensures your community's data is held directly in your control.

Comm's servers never see your plaintext data. It can only be accessed by other community members.

@gogokikaider Thanks for the shoutout, Grey!

[Comm @CommDotApp]

We designed Comm's communities menu to be minimalist and easy-to-grok, with community names and without an anxiety-inducing notification badge.

[grey.base.eth @gogokikaider]

hard to pick favorites, but one of the convos I’m most excited about rn is with @CommDotApp - very much worth a look IMHO.

feels a lot like what Keybase was trying to do before they got Zoomified, and what Signal won’t do, for whatever reason.

but also - web3-licious.

Is your Telegram home screen cluttered with muted chats? Our background tab is here to help.

When you mute a chat, it moves to the background tab where you can access it easily on your own time.

[Comm @CommDotApp]

Comm is a communities app built on keyservers -- E2E-encrypted personal servers that store your community's messages and personal data for privacy and UX without compromise.

You can learn more about them here: https://t.co/ni01iZa4ck

[Comm @CommDotApp]

As discourse moves to private group chats, encryption becomes more important.

But today, users have to choose between UX and privacy. Telegram, Slack, and Discord are not E2EE because their functionality is too complicated for today's technology.

Comm's keyservers fix this ✅
