Read the full description
Vulpine is an online messaging platform built around safety and anonymity. It offers private messages, group chats, and content sharing on the web and natively. Messages are protected with end-to-end encryption using Curve25519, so only the people in a conversation can read them. Some of the code is open source on GitHub, and the Android client is written in Java under the MIT license. Vulpine is more than a messenger. It is a mindset where being anonymous and feeling at home matters.

Partial Chat, groups, and sharing UI can be vibe-coded, but real end-to-end encryption with Curve25519 and key management is security-critical and needs careful cryptographic design and review that vibe coding can't reliably provide.
What it would actually take: The stack is a real-time messaging backend (WebSockets or similar), per-device key management, and an E2EE protocol built on libsodium or Signal's libraries, likely with a double-ratchet design. Getting key verification, forward secrecy, and metadata handling right requires cryptography and security engineering expertise, along with an independent audit before users trust the privacy claims.
