datmouth

P2P chat client that uses DAT protocol underneath. For ephemeral conversations.

Have you lost your internet connection?

Works with peers connected:

• offline, LAN
• WAN

Inspired by DAT foundation workshops and great packages in the community.

To experiment with kappa architectures check out kappa-core deck, hyperswarm, etc. Thanks to those folks implicated, having too much fun with this :)

Install

$ npm install -g datmouth

Usage

$ datmouth topicname

Will join the swarm automatically. You can share the topic with a friend and start chatting

Your conversations and gifs are saved to a temp directory. Your system will remove them automatically at some point
