What has changed:

• created a SQLite database for users and messages
• “offloaded” more code to LCP (Luminal Communication Protocol)
• started making the messaging part

What has changed:

• Made a basic session-based authentication system (harder than I thought) using JWT
• Fixed and created some bugs
• Created unnecessary debug messages before I noticed that the hex decoding fails because I put something like ¨adasdasd¨ into my config instead of a hex string

What changed:

• continued making lcp (took longer as expected because the wtransport crate is poorly documented)
• started making messagestorage use lcp
• everything has become a mess, I gotta clean up next time I work on luminal

Sidenote: I cannot commit to codeberg as I am writing this, they reported that they have an outage. I will push the code when codeberg is back up.

What has changed

Structure

• Started making libs and mods for the separate parts (luminal communication protocol, etc.)
• changed the architecture from: Client <-> Messagestorage <-> Instance to: Messagestorage <- Client <-> Instance

Bugfixes

• Fixed various bugs, but the compiler throws errors right now, so I cannot show a working version in the screenshot.

What changed

• started making a bash-like shell for managing and controlling the instance
• rewrote the config system to use the toml crate instead of config
• fixed multiple bugs
• started making cert verification

smol sidenote: I cannot work as fast as the last weeks right now because I’m on vacation and only have a dual-core ThinkPad with me.

What changed

• added automatic port fetching for better ux
• fixed multiple bugs
• made the code very messy (gonna clean everything up tomorrow)

What changed:

• added rudder and elevator
• added wings
• made the parts friction fit so the electronics are easily accessible

What I have done so far:

• Made a basic airplane shape (no wings yet) in onshape

What changed:

• Took out ml-kem for now because it was causing rust-analyzer to be slow as hell
• Switched to RSA encryption because I was stupid
• fixed many bugs (not running right now - gotta fix that now)

And a small information at the bottom: I am making this project to learn cryptography and get a Framework 12

Things that changed:

• I went back to BiStreams because I was dumb and didn’t realize that what I wanted to do was way easier with BiStreams.
• I started working on the backend, which can receive BiStreams from the selfhost-server as of now.

Things that changed:

Used multiple UniStreams instead of a single BiStream because its easier, made the functions more usable, removed unused dependencies.

Started cleaning up and structuring the project. I also made a basic account system which will need some tuning later.

After trying different protocols for literal hours, I finally settled on WebTransport. Its safer than WebSocket, I believe. I now have to make it send the json instead of “HELLO”.

This is my first devlog of this project. I’ve always wanted to make a chat app since they are one of the most used tools today. Every attempt of making one failed and I was really frustrated. Now, I have motivation to make it and get something for free.
