Background

This is the React front-end for the end-to-end encrypted chat application. The name PipChat is meant to pay tribute to the now-defunct HipChat which I used and liked a lot at work.

A live demo.

Features

Social media authentication

It supports authentication using social media accounts such as Google, Twitter, Microsoft account and LinkedIn.

End-to-end encryption

The messages are encrypted end-to-end using asymmetric encryption. When one of the peers initiates the conversation, a new key pair will be generated and the public keys are exchanged between the peers of the conversation.

Main dependencies

• WebSocket (socket.io)
• Redux, Redux-saga
• TweetNaCl (for encryption)
• Quill Rich Text Editor
• Auth0
