I needed a pick-me-up so I took a break from the back-end stuff to make a logo for Domain¹ :)
(The main page for public instances will have a very different different design before launch. One based on the prototype we created while working with City of Ghent a few years ago.)

@aral For some reason this reminded me to check whether your #SmallWeb work supports #EndToEndEncryption. Turns out it does! https://codeberg.org/kitten/app#end-to-end-encrypted-kitten-chat
Doing the encryption on a client app instead of inside the browser client served by the server could be more secure, right? Like a WebExtension client or a dedicated app. Only for content encryption though, your hoster always knows the metadata of your posts, right?
Aral Balkan
@fahrstuhl Yep, that could be something that’s layered on but Small Web places are not for folks with threat models that include state-level actors.
A malicious server host or one that is compromised (likely by a state-level actor) can serve a modified client to phish your secret, etc.
Instead of a browser extension that handles the encryption, if you’re going to use an extension, you could use it to verify the source matches what you expect via a hash.
Aral Balkan
@fahrstuhl But again, if your (or someone else’s) life is going to be at risk, this is not for you. Use Signal or some other end-to-end encrypted messenger (and hope that whatever app store you downloaded the client from hasn’t been similarly compromised and you’re getting the binary you thought you were. Again, it all depends on your threat model.)

@phoneybadger Thank you :)

@aral That is a very welcoming cosy logo
