My girlfriend is a crypto-anarchist and she doesn't even know it.
summary
Vmax is a browser app that implements peer-to-peer encrypted end-to-end chat using WebRTC data channels, OTRjs for message auth, and a tiny Express signaling server bundled with browserify and CoffeeScript. It isolates crypto in an extension/no-webkit wrapper to avoid keylogging, falls back to TURN relays when NAT prevents direct links, exposes local and public IPs during ICE, and demonstrably connects nontechnical users (graphic designer and plumber) for real encrypted conversations.
