What is Databag?

Databag is a lightweight, decentralized messaging platform designed for efficiency and privacy. It enables direct communication between users and server nodes with a focus on end-to-end encryption and federation.

Keyfeatures

• Decentralized communication (direct app-to-server node connection)
• Federated network (users on different nodes can communicate)
• Public-Private key based identity (not tied to blockchain or domains)
• End-to-End encryption (even admins can't see sealed topics)
• Audio and Video Calls (supports NAT traversal with a relay server)
• Topic-based threads (messages are organized by topics)
• Unlimited participants in threads
• Low latency with websockets for real-time communication
• Mobile alerts for messages, contacts, and calls
• Multi-Factor Authentication (supports TOTP apps)
• Runs on minimal hardware (e.g., Raspberry Pi Zero)
