Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 I'm Chandan, the creator and maker behind **QuickChat**. I'm super excited to share this project with all of you today! 🚀 ### 💡 What inspired me to build QuickChat? We all use messaging apps every day, but I noticed a recurring frustration: whenever you want to quickly message someone or make a quick video call, you're forced to download a heavy native app from an app store, sign away device permissions, or save temporary contacts to your phonebook. I wanted to build a communication tool that is **instant, frictionless, beautiful, and respects privacy from day one.** --- ### 🎯 What problem does QuickChat solve? QuickChat delivers a complete modern communication suite directly in the browser as a lightweight **Progressive Web App (PWA)**: - 🔒 **True End-to-End Encryption (E2EE)**: Messages and keys are handled on the client side with secure recovery passphrases. - 📞 **Peer-to-Peer WebRTC Calls**: Crystal-clear 1-on-1 HD audio and video calls without routing streams through third-party servers. - ⚡ **Large 100MB Media Streaming**: Share high-res videos and media collections with seamless chunked streaming and zero stutter. - 📱 **One-Tap PWA Install**: Works like a native iOS/Android/Desktop app with full offline capabilities and Web Push notifications. - 🎨 **Modern WhatsApp-Inspired Glassmorphism UI**: Beautiful dark & light modes, smooth animations, and clean notification cards. --- ### 🛠️ How did the process evolve? What started as a simple Socket.io chat experiment quickly turned into an ambitious engineering journey. 1. **E2EE Cryptography**: Building reliable client-side key generation and encrypted payload exchange. 2. **WebRTC Orchestration**: Ensuring robust ICE candidate handling and instant peer connection across varied network types. 3. **High-Speed Media Pipelines**: Overcoming standard web upload boundaries with a custom chunked streaming architecture for large 100MB video transfers. --- ### 🙌 I'd love your feedback! - How do the call quality and chat speed feel on your device? - Which feature or integration would you love to see next? Thank you so much for checking out QuickChat and for all your incredible support! 💬✨
