A decentralized address book with OrbitDB and Svelte

Workflow

  1. Alice: Enter your own address (and store it locally in your browser storage)
  2. Bob scans the QR-Code of Alice (QR-Code contains Alice username)
  3. Bob requests a Alice vCard via Waku (Alice subscribed on Waku-Network)
  4. Alice sends her vCard
  5. Bob stores vCard in localstorage currently deleted

Usage

Browser A)

  • under Settings->identity set your name (e.g. Alice) (this is planed for a DID!)
  • under MyAddress add Alice own address and mark own address

Browser B)

  • under Settings->identity set other name (e.g. Bob)
  • under MyAddress add Bobs own address and mark own address

Browser A)

  • under Contacts type "Bob" and click on "Scan Address"

Result: Address of Bob should be added automatically on Alice address book

Todo

Deployment

  • build projects, fix paths and deploy on ipfs node

    • npm run build Basics

  • if Bob requests Alice address he sends his public key so Alice can encrypt

    • [] Before sending request Bob subscribes to Alice TOPIC (TOPIC = Alice pubkey)
    • Alice collects Bob's pubKey in her subscriber list
    • Alice sends her pubKey and a signature with her address/contact data to Bob
    • Bob verifies Alice signature over her contact data

  • if Alice updates her address, she sends an update-address command to each element in her subscriber list

    • Bob request address again
    • test offline behaviour of recipient.

  • encrypt contact data with publicKey of recipient (so others can't sniff contact data)

  • add confirm modal when requesting address from Bob

  • add checkbox "send my own address"

  • add confirm notification on Bob when send-address request arrives - optionally add Address of "Alice"

  • add confirm notification on Alice when deliver-address message arrives to add address

  • test Waku-Feature "ephemeral: messages"

  • store local address book in a local first db (e.g. OrbitDB) so it is replicating with peers with same identity

  • refactor network operations to be used with / create new branch for:

    • Peer-to-peer & Local First
      • LibP2P local first / p2p see p2p-playground
      • Automerge: https://automerge.org/
      • Plain IPFS (store vcard on ipfs / ipns / ipfs.cat every address from time to time)
    • Peer-to-peer & Non Local First
    • Nostr: https://nostr.com/
