The other day i posted a rant on p2p here on HN and everyone was like, huh! Use whatsapp.

We need to build our own p2p and e2e secure chat client like whatsapp which works on every platform.

Sure, it's possible - skype was exactly this before except for the e2e part.

Why we techies can't? Let's make a group and dissect the problem in our free time. Who is up for it?

I never found any p2p app with similar user experience as WhatsApp.

All people on this site brag of p2p and their technical prowness, yet no one has managed to build a killer p2p chat app. Disgusting!

Probably, they are still debating what programing language to use.
