Description
1x1 is a private one-to-one messenger built as a Progressive Web App. No phone number, no email, no traditional account — only a UIN and a 12-word seed phrase. Messages are end-to-end encrypted, contacts are bilateral (both sides must accept), and chat history lives mainly on your devices. Delivery goes through our own path instead of foreign push networks. Official client: https://1x1.im

Could you build this?
Partial While a PWA messaging UI and Web Crypto API wrappers can be vibe-coded, implementing reliable, zero-leak E2EE key exchange, bilateral contact handshakes, and ephemeral WebRTC/signaling without leaving metadata trails requires dedicated cryptographic expertise.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires client-side Web Cryptography (e.g., Double Ratchet algorithm via libsignal or Olm) compiled to WebAssembly, paired with a blind signaling server (WebSocket/Elixir Phoenix) and WebRTC mesh or decentralized relays. The hard part is ensuring robust cryptographic guarantees against man-in-the-middle attacks, forward secrecy, and metadata privacy without accounts, which demands vetted cryptographic engineering.
