Phantom Chat
Phantom Chat is the messenger built because every other one felt like a compromise. Signal wants your phone number, WhatsApp wants it too, iMessage is tied to your Apple ID, Telegram's encryption is opt-in, Wire wants an email. The goal was to message a friend without handing over a permanent identifier first. The product features anonymous sign-up (no phone, email, or real name required), post-quantum encryption using a hybrid Signal Protocol Double Ratchet plus NIST FIPS 203 ML-KEM-768 (Kyber), invite-code-only contact discovery, and a subscription-based business model with no VC funding, ads, or data sales.

Discussion
Phantom Chat looks genuinely useful — the Privacy space needed this. qq: does it scale cleanly for bigger teams, or is there a performance hit to watch out for? Congrats on shipping 👏
@vikram great question — it stays light even on large workspaces; nothing extra to configure. Appreciate you checking it out!
@phantom great to know, appreciate the transparency 🙌
The Cybersecurity & Privacy angle is the part that got me — feels way cleaner than what's out there. For an existing setup, how granular can you get about what you expose? Congrats on shipping.
@sanjay thank you! you can scope it as tightly as you want — per project, per workspace, your call.
