StatusApp

A social media network you own, using contact cards to help users find, verify and follow each other. Statusapp is zero-knowledge, which means the server never knows what's being sent to it. Statusapp is built with Crypton.

Why?

StatusApp is proof that zero-knowledge social media is feasible, and designed to be a simple example of Crypton in action. We've minimised our dependencies to try to make it as accessible as possible. StatusApp uses Cordova and the almost-ubiquitious jQuery for its interface, with the Crypton JS library handling the crypto.

Getting started.

You'll need a few things to get going:

1. Download Xcode or Command Line Tools, and install.
2. Install Node.js, either through the official install packages, or via a package installer (eg Homebrew),
3. Once #1 and #2 are installed, get [Cordova](cordova link) set up by opening your terminal and typing npm install -g cordova.
4. Install the rest of the node dependencies: npm install -g cordova-icon cordova-splash ios-sim.
5. Clone (or fork) this repo, cd into statusapp/mobileapp You'll need to install plugins before you start.

Building and running.

To get StatusApp running:

2. Run cordova prepare
3. Run StatusApp with cordova run --[emulator/device] [ios/android].
4. If you want to deploy on device, take a look at the Cordova documentation.

If you want to build icons and splash screens, use cordova-icon and cordova-splash commands before you run statusapp.
