Developer Notes

Hi there, my name's Proto.

• Q: What changes will be made?
  A: I'm looking towards additional functionality, such as multiple partners, advanced file-sharing, offline messaging and more. This would require a more robust database but is possible.


• Q: Can the server see my messages? Are my messages stored somewhere?
  A: No. I may look towards each device saving messages in a local text file, but currently messages are not held anyway and dissapear as soon as you and your partner disconnect. The server cannot see the contents of your messages, it simply passes along an encrypted string of text.


• Q: How do I use the messenger?
  A: Start-up the application exe and create an account, preferabbly with a strong password. If you have an account already, simply login. Enter your partner's username and press connect. The other user must enter your unique username and from there an encrypted session will begin.


• Q: Can I use it on Linux or Mac?
  A: I'm still in the process of porting it to Linux, though it can be ran using Wine. I'm not very familiar with the IOS architecture and I doubt the application would be compatible with Mac.
