After months of building EchoID alongside my physics degree, everything is finally ready.
The app is now live, the frontend is fully open source, and anyone is welcome to try it out. I'm also preparing the backend for open-source release after cleaning up deployment-specific code and improving the documentation.
EchoID started as a personal challenge to learn how modern communication platforms work. Along the way, it evolved into a privacy-first messaging and social platform with features like anonymous identities, communities, real-time messaging, encrypted communication, and WebRTC voice/video calling.
EchoID began as a side project while I was studying physics, driven by a curiosity about how modern communication platforms work. It has grown into a privacy-first messaging and social platform featuring anonymous identities, communities, real-time messaging, WebRTC voice and video calls, and hybrid RSA+AES encryption. Currently in public beta, it's open source and built to explore secure, minimal-data communication with transparency and community feedback.
I m currently building EchoId, a privacy-focused messaging project designed around secure real-time communication and minimal data collection.
I was frustrated by how heavily many modern apps are monetized, especially platforms like Instagram and Facebook.
This project is not meant to become a brand or business. The goal is simply to allow messages to be delivered without tracking, profiling, or analysis.
EchoId is a privacy-focused messaging app designed for secure real-time communication. It uses WebSockets for instant messaging and a hybrid encryption model (RSA + AES) to protect message content. The project explores lightweight chat architecture with minimal data collection while maintaining strong security. Built as a side project to experiment with privacy-first communication systems.
