polyphony + polyproto = A free and open source communications suite in the making. Federated, decentralized, delightful to use.

codeberg codeberg.org/polyphony

Proprietary chat services suck. The Polyphony project aims to change that by developing @polyproto, a federated identity and trusted message exchange protocol, as well chat software and -standards built on top of it. We are building sonata (a polyproto home server for identity federation), symfonia (a chat server implementing polyproto-chat), and a client to tie it all together. Our goal is a federated chat experience that feels at least as polished and easy to use as proprietary alternatives.

Through the MPL-2.0 license, we ensure that our software can be used by anyone, for any(-ish) purpose. The only major thing we ask is that improvements and changes to our software stay open source as well. Our software should benefit the public, not corporations.

Additionally, our Code of Conduct is a modified version of the Contributor Covenant, explicitly including otherkin and plural individuals and explicitly banning AI contributions.

@pinkberet I think something with "poly" is good, given that we still have polyproto, which I think should keep its name

Polyphony would like a new name. What do you think would suit us? neocat_polyproto

Despite being a proof-of-concept release, writing qualitative code is important to me. A large reason for why development is taking a while is because throughout the project, I have set myself higher and better standards for what I find to be acceptable to push, as I have learned more about the language and software architecture overall. The home server implementation, as barebones as it might be, should have such a strong foundation to carry it throughout all the additional features that will land in it. Major, breaking rewrites should be minimized in the future. Time invested now is time saved later (to a point).

December 12th is the targeted date for a v0.1.0 release of sonata, our @polyproto core home server implementation.
Planned for this initial proof-of-concept version are all features required to federate identities and verify messages sent from other people on any home server. Functionality/features above that are not likely to be included.

Profile updated to match the updated version of our branding! ablobcatmusic

Old (left) vs. new (right) profile picture neocat_notice
The Polyphony logo. a dark, square background with rounded edges. on this background, there are four vertically stacked, purple lines. The lines each resemble a sine curve, although they are all shaped a little differently.
Same as the image before, but the purple gradient on the four wavey lines is a little more subtle, slightly fading into the background on the left edge. The waves are also a bit smaller against the dark background, which has an ever so slightly darker shade as well.

We updated our README.md with a new banner! blobcat
Banner image on a dark navy background. Top left shows a purple quadruple-line icon and white text 'Polyphony +' followed by a purple gear icon and 'polyproto'. Below is a bold white heading 'Transforming online communication' and an italic subtitle 'Federated and delightful to use chat software for everybody.' where 'everybody' is rendered in progress-pride flag colored letters. A no-entry style icon signaling 'No AI' sits in the bottom right corner.
