Comm

introducing Comm, a new kind of messaging app. we extend Signal-style encryption with a federation layer

Comm supports two kinds of chats:
1. Signal-style E2EE group chats & DMs
2. chat communities hosted on federated keyservers (like a modern IRC)

where Discord is chaotic and messy, Comm communities are organized and built for async

we're using Farcaster to bootstrap not just our social graph, but also our interest graph. when you log in with Farcaster, we'll automatically add you to communities based on the channels you follow

open source / build in public

so our Electron apps (macOS & Windows) are just shells around our web app (https://web.comm.app)

the only thing they implement is native OS notifications, which are proprietary for both macOS & Windows

if you don't care about that, then one option is to use Chromium on Linux to turn https://web.comm.app into an app
