RVLVVR is a chat client/server that enables GPG-encrypted messaging. It uses keybase.io and is a distributed application, using rvlvvr.net as a hub for discoverability and message passing.
Client code is: https://github.com/rvlvvr/rvlvvr-client

- can post images and videos by just putting the URL in the message
- need to
keybase trackanyone you want to talk with - On OS X - cmd+Enter to send messages rather than click on 'send'
- When you have a new message waiting, a red light flashes next to a username on your client
- can remove messages immediately with
rm -rf db/username-username - all messages are ephemeral and timeout after 1 hour
- Talking to yourself is broadcasting
- see updates on rvlvvr.net/feed
- See public stream of chats at http://rvlvvr.net/recent/username-username, i.e.: http://rvlvvr.net/recent/selenamarie-taotetek
- You can make public posts by clicking the checkbox -- some UX is in the works to remind you you're in public mode. I mistakenly posted a ton publicly cuz i forgot i'd clicked the box :D
