      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey guys,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built as title says E2EE chat platform &lt;a href="https://chat.markero.eu" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://chat.markero.eu&lt;/a&gt; and its public source sits at &lt;a href="https://git.markero.eu/main/markero-chat" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://git.markero.eu/main/markero-chat&lt;/a&gt; - feel free to fork it, clone it, break it, send PRs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Project took 4 months to mature with breaks. It includes android AAB project files if you wish to submit it to Play store. Firebase is integrated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not going to lie - On AI: I used it as coding assistant. Every change was reviewed and tested - there are 84 backend + 13 WebSocket + 6 crypto tests in the repo (./tests/run-all.sh).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What I'm looking for:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Holes in the threat model: chat.markero.eu/security - what's misleading, missing?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Code review - especially the key-wrapping and message-encryption paths.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;UX/UI feedback from actually using it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I'm not claiming to beat Signal - the trade-off here is different.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Let me know what you think, not looking for promotion but as independent project looking for holes and how to solve them, criticism accepted, but would rather want a comment on how to improve it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where I'm not claiming victory - Signal is excellent. I'm not trying to beat it, the trade off is different.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you find a vulnerability, please report it privately, or make PR request.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you guys and girls for reading this! It means a lot!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;P.S- It will probably get a lot of hate, but I'm ready to improve it. People can host it themselves and have secure chats with they guys, we are not beating Telegram/Signal we are standing belong them. Thanks again!&lt;/p&gt;
