+A simple mesh network communications app powered by the [Reticulum Network Stack](https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum).
+
+<img src="./screenshots/screenshot.png">
+
+## What does it do?
+
+- It can send and receive messages, files and audio calls with peers;
+    - Over your local network through Ethernet and WiFi, completely automatically.
+    - Over the internet by connecting through a server [hosted by yourself](https://reticulum.network/manual/interfaces.html#tcp-server-interface) or [the community](https://reticulum.network/connect.html).
+    - Over low-powered, license-free, ISM band LoRa Radio, with an [RNode](https://github.com/markqvist/RNode_Firmware).
+    - ...and via [any other interface](https://reticulum.network/manual/interfaces.html) supported by the Reticulum Network Stack.
+- It communicates securely. Messages can only be decrypted by the intended destination.
+- It can communicate with any other existing [LXMF](https://github.com/markqvist/lxmf) client, such as [Sideband](https://github.com/markqvist/Sideband/) and [Nomadnet](https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet).
+- It can download files and browse micron pages (decentralised websites) hosted on [Nomad Network](https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet) nodes.
+
+## Features
+
+- Supports sending and receiving messages between [Reticulum MeshChat](https://github.com/liamcottle/reticulum-meshchat), [Sideband](https://github.com/markqvist/Sideband/) and [Nomadnet](https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet).
+- Supports receiving and saving images and attachments sent from Sideband.
+- Supports sending images, voice recordings and file attachments.
+- Supports saving inbound and outbound messages to a local database.
+- Supports sending an announce to the network.
+- Supports setting a custom display name to send in your announce.
+- Supports viewing and searching peers discovered from announces.
+- Supports auto resending undelivered messages when an announce is received from the recipient.
+- Supports sending messages to and syncing messages from [LXMF Propagation Nodes](https://github.com/markqvist/lxmf?tab=readme-ov-file#propagation-nodes).
+- Supports running a local LXMF Propagation Node so other users can use your device for message storage and retrieval.
+- Support for browsing pages, and downloading files hosted on Nomad Network Nodes.
+
+## Beta Features
+
+- Support for Audio Calls to other [Reticulum MeshChat](https://github.com/liamcottle/reticulum-meshchat) users.
+  - Audio is encoded with [codec2](https://github.com/drowe67/codec2) to support low bandwidth links.
+  - Using a microphone requires using the web ui over localhost or https, due to [AudioWorklet](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AudioWorklet) secure context.
+  - I have tested two-way audio calls over LoRa with a single hop. It works well when a [reasonable bitrate](https://unsigned.io/understanding-lora-parameters/) is configured on the RNode.
+  - Some browsers such as FireFox don't work as expected. Try using a Chromium based browser if running via the command line.
+
+## Download
+
+You can download the latest version for Windows, Mac and Linux from the [releases](https://github.com/liamcottle/reticulum-meshchat/releases) page.
+
+Alternatively, you can download the source and run it manually from a command line.
+
+See the ["How to use it?"](#how-to-use-it) section, further down on how to do this.

+
+## Getting Started
+
+Once you've downloaded, installed and launched Reticulum MeshChat, there's a few things you need to do in order to start communicating with other people on the network.
+
+1. Create an Identity
+2. Configure your Display Name
+3. Send an Announce
+4. Discover Peers and start sending messages
+5. Configuring additional Network Interfaces
+
+**Create an Identity**
+
+On the Reticulum Network, anyone can have any number of Identities. You may opt to use your real name, or you may decide to be completely anonymous. The choice is yours.
+
+A Reticulum Identity is a public/private key-pair. You control the private key used to generate destination addresses, encrypt content and prove receipt of data with unforgeable delivery acknowledgements.
+
+Your public key is shared with the network when you send an announce, and allows others on the network to automatically discover a route to a destination you control.
+
+At this time, Reticulum MeshChat generates a new Identity the first time you launch it. A future update will allow you to create and manage multiple identities.
+
+For now, if you want to change, or reset your identity, you can access the identity file at `~/.reticulum-meshchat/identity`.
+
+**Configure your Display Name**
+
+The next thing you should do, is set a display name. Your display name is what everyone else on the network will see when looking for someone to communicate with from the Peers list.
+
+You can do this in the `My Identity` section in the bottom left corner. Enter a new display name, and then press `Save`.
+
+**Send an Announce**
+
+When using the Reticulum Network, in order to be contactable, you need to send an `Announce`. You can send an announce as often, or as infrequently as you like.
+
+Sending an announce allows other peers on the network to discover the next-hop across the network their packets should take to arrive at a destination that your identity controls.
+
+If you never send an announce, you will be invisible and no one will ever be able to send anything to you.
+
+When you move across the network, and change entrypoints, such as moving from your home WiFi network, to plugging in to an Ethernet port in a local library or even climbing a mountain and using an RNode over LoRa radio, other peers on the network will only know the previous path to your destinations.
+
+To allow them to discover the new path their packets should take to reach you, you should send an announce.
+
+**Discover Peers and start sending messages**
+
+In the Reticulum Network, you can control an unlimited number of destination addresses. One of these can be an [LXMF](https://github.com/markqvist/lxmf) delivery address.
+
+Your Reticulum Identity allows you to have an LXMF address. Think of an LXMF address as your very own, secure, end-to-end encrypted, unspoofable, email address routed over a mesh network.
+
+When someone else on the network announces themselves (more specifically, their LXMF address), they will show up in the Peers tab.
+
+You can click on any of these discovered peers to open a messaging interface. From here, you can send text messages, files and inline images. If they respond, their messages will show up there too.
+
+As well as being able to announce your LXMF address and discover others, Reticulum MeshChat can also discover [Nomad Network](https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet) nodes hosted by other users. From the Nodes tab, you are free to explore pages and download files they may be publicly sharing on the network.
+
+A future update is planned to allow you to host your own Node and share pages and files with other peers on the network. For now, you could use the official [Nomad Network](https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet) client to do this.
+
+Remember, in order to connect with other peers or nodes, they must announce on the network. So don't forget to announce if you want to be discovered!
+
+**Configuring additional Network Interfaces**
+
+> TODO: this section is yet to be written. For now, you can check out the [official documentation for configuring interfaces](https://reticulum.network/manual/interfaces.html) in the Reticulum config file. This file is located at `~/.reticulum/config`
+
+## How does it work?
+
+- A python script ([meshchat.py](./meshchat.py)) runs a Reticulum instance and a WebSocket server.
+- The web page sends and receives LXMF packets encoded in json via the WebSocket.
+- Web Browser -> WebSocket -> Python Reticulum -> (configured interfaces) -> (destination)
+- LXMF messages sent and received are saved to a local SQLite database.
+
+## How to use it?
+
+It is recommended that you [download](#download) a standalone application.
+
+If you don't want to, or a release is unavailable for your device, you will need to;
+
+- install [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
+- install [NodeJS v18+](https://nodejs.org/en)
+- clone the source code from this repo
+- install all dependencies
+- then run `meshchat.py`.
+
+```
+# clone repo
+git clone https://github.com/liamcottle/reticulum-meshchat
+cd reticulum-meshchat
+
+# install nodejs deps
+# if you want to build electron binaries, remove "--omit=dev"
+# if you're using termux, add "--ignore-scripts" to fix error with esbuild
+npm install --omit=dev
+
+# build frontend vue components
+npm run build-frontend
+
+# install python deps
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# run meshchat
+python meshchat.py
 ```

-### Building in Docker
+> NOTE: You should now be able to access the web interface at http://localhost:8000

-```bash
-make docker-build
+For a full list of command line options, you can run;
+
+```
+python meshchat.py --help
 ```

-The build will be in the `dist` directory.
+```
+usage: meshchat.py [-h] [--host [HOST]] [--port [PORT]] [--headless] [--identity-file IDENTITY_FILE] [--identity-base64 IDENTITY_BASE64] [--generate-identity-file GENERATE_IDENTITY_FILE] [--generate-identity-base64]
+              [--reticulum-config-dir RETICULUM_CONFIG_DIR] [--storage-dir STORAGE_DIR]

-## Development
+ReticulumMeshChat

-```bash
-make develop
+options:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  --host [HOST]         The address the web server should listen on.
+  --port [PORT]         The port the web server should listen on.
+  --headless            Web browser will not automatically launch when this flag is passed.
+  --identity-file IDENTITY_FILE
+                        Path to a Reticulum Identity file to use as your LXMF address.
+  --identity-base64 IDENTITY_BASE64
+                        A base64 encoded Reticulum Identity to use as your LXMF address.
+  --generate-identity-file GENERATE_IDENTITY_FILE
+                        Generates and saves a new Reticulum Identity to the provided file path and then exits.
+  --generate-identity-base64
+                        Outputs a randomly generated Reticulum Identity as base64 and then exits.
+  --reticulum-config-dir RETICULUM_CONFIG_DIR
+                        Path to a Reticulum config directory for the RNS stack to use (e.g: ~/.reticulum)
+  --storage-dir STORAGE_DIR
+                        Path to a directory for storing databases and config files (default: ./storage)
 ```

+## Using an existing Reticulum Identity
+
+The first time you run this application, a new Reticulum identity is generated and saved to `storage/identity`.
+
+If you want to use an existing identity;
+
+- You can overwrite `storage/identity` with another identity file.
+- Or, you can pass in a custom identity file path as a command line argument.
+
+To use a custom identity file, provide the `--identity-file` argument followed by the path to your custom identity file.
+
+```
+python meshchat.py --identity-file ./custom_identity_file
+```
+
+If you would like to generate a new identity, you can use the [rnid](https://reticulum.network/manual/using.html#the-rnid-utility) utility provided by Reticulum.
+
+```
+rnid --generate ./new_identity_file
+```
+
+If you don't have access to the `rnid` command, you can use the following:
+
+```
+python meshchat.py --generate-identity-file ./new_identity_file
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can provide a base64 encoded private key, like so;
+
+```
+python meshchat.py --identity-base64 "GCN6mMhVemdNIK/fw97C1zvU17qjQPFTXRBotVckeGmoOwQIF8VOjXwNNem3CUOJZCQQpJuc/4U94VSsC39Phw=="
+```
+
+> NOTE: this is a randomly generated identity for example purposes. Do not use it, it has been leaked!
+
+## Build Electron Application
+
+Reticulum MeshChat can be run from source via a command line, as explained above, or as a standalone application.
+
+To run as a standalone application, we need to compile the python script and dependencies to an executable with [cxfreeze](https://github.com/marcelotduarte/cx_Freeze) and then build an [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/) app which includes a bundled browser that can interact with the compiled python executable.
+
+This allows for the entire application to be run by double clicking a single file without the need for a user to manually install python, nor run any commands in a command line application.
+
+To build a `.exe` when running on Windows or a `.dmg` when running on a Mac, run the following;
+
+```
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+npm install
+npm run dist
+```
+
+> Note: cxfreeze only supports building an executable for the current platform. You will need a Mac to build for Mac, and a Windows PC to build for Windows.
+
+Once completed, you should have a `.exe` or a `.dmg` in the `dist` folder.
+
+## Local Development
+
+I normally run the following commands to work on the project locally.
+
+**Install dependencies**
+
+```
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+npm install
+```
+
+**Build and run Electron App**
+
+```
+npm run electron
+```
+
+
+
+**or; Build and run MeshChat Server**
+
+```
+npm run build-frontend
+python3 meshchat.py --headless
+```
+
+I build the vite app everytime without hot reload, since MeshChat expects everything over its own port, not the vite server port. I will attempt to fix this in the future.
+
+## TODO
+
+- [ ] button to forget announces
+
+# Notes
+
+**LXMF Router**
+
+- By default, the LXMF router rejects inbound messages larger than 1mb.
+- LXMF clients are likely to have [this default limit](https://github.com/markqvist/LXMF/blob/c426c93cc5d63a3dae18ad2264b1299a7ad9e46c/LXMF/LXMRouter.py#L38), and your messages will [fail to send](https://github.com/markqvist/LXMF/blob/c426c93cc5d63a3dae18ad2264b1299a7ad9e46c/LXMF/LXMRouter.py#L1428).
+- MeshChat has increased the receive limit to 10mb to allow for larger attachments.
