Building EchoId — a privacy-focused messaging app

by•

Hi everyone 👋

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.

As a student i built it over the span of 1 year along with managing my studies.

The idea is to experiment with lightweight chat architecture using WebSockets and hybrid encryption (RSA + AES) while keeping the system simple and efficient.

Still polishing things before the launch and would love early feedback from developers and privacy enthusiasts.

If anyone is interested in testing or sharing thoughts before the launch, I’d really appreciate it.
