Hi Flyingzumwalt... I'm not a developer and new to IPFS, even though our developers talk highly.. The ipfs/apps#40 link doesn't seem to be working.. Any chance you can point me in the right direction...

I am confused. I cannot think of any advantage using IPFS for messaging. Signal and WhatsApp proved that this is about p2p + encryption. Can you elaborate on how to apply IPFS to messaging?

@buckle2000 this would be more of a libp2p/ipld based project. However, it would use the same underlying tech that we use in IPFS (and this repo hosts issues that apply to the ipfs+ ecosystem in general).

@buckle2000 ultimately it's these issue titles that are confusing ipfs/apps#40 makes a lot more sense when you see that it's a parent
