A peer-to-peer chat application built using Tauri, JavaScript, and HTML.
Disco Chat is meant to be a fun, easy-to-use chat application, but it's also meant to help show developers how to build applications like it. It's based upon native-ipfs-building-blox, which is a great kit for getting started on building desktop IPFS applications using HTML/Javascript (Rust too if you like!).
A couple code snippets of note:
If you run into any problems please reach out to our community, or open an issue.
We don't currently have any binaries, but are working on getting them out. Below are instructions on how to build the application from source.
git clone https://github.com/TheDiscordian/disco-chat.git
cd disco-chatcargo install tauri-clinpm install
npm run build./fetch-kubo.shIf it doesn't work for you refer to the Windows instructions for how to obtain and rename the kubo binary.
Warning: There be 🐉. While users have gotten Disco Chat running in WSL, no one has run it natively on Windows yet without WSL. If you get it working, a PR to this README would be hugely appreciated.
Grab the appropriate kubo binary. Ensure you extract the package, pulling the ipfs binary out. Then move it to bin/ naming it according to this guide's parameters (final name will be something like kubo-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.exe, probably, check here if you can't figure out your triple).
cargo tauri dev
