I know this is going to involve chatting. Any plans for end-to-end encryption? Any plans for voice/video chats?
We will be using Cloudflare for our end-to-end encryption for hopefully all of our services in Operation Volcano. There will be voice/video chats on the chatting program as well.
Using Cloudflare gives encryption in terms of TLS, but that's only encryption to your server, not end to end encryption.
Cloudflare is not e2ee, they don't even provide e2ee! You'd need some sort of key verification where the other person sends you their key and you make sure it matches what you see to ensure e2ee
what's the language you're using, are you using any frameworks, and what's the feature(s) you're going to be adding?
I am going to use HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and maybe a little python, if needed. Frameworks so far will be with CloudFlare, WebRTC, and I’m still debating on whether to use Google, Amazon, or GitHub. This app will be embedded on Wix, however, as the main website is still hosted by them.
What tnix said
WebRTC is a browser feature that allows for things like HTML5 video and finding screen sizes
Don't use Google Cloud Services or AWS, put the source code on GitHub and host the server yourself. You can use Cloudflare Tunnels to hide your IP while hosting it.
