Uplink

Privacy First, Modular, P2P messaging client built atop Warp.

Uplink is written in pure Rust with a UI in Dioxus (which is also written in Rust). It was developed as a new foundation for implementing Warp features in a universal application.

The goal should be to build a hyper-customizable application that can run anywhere and support extensions.

Quickstart

To get running fast, ensure you have Rust installed.

Standard Run:

cargo run --bin ui

Rapid Release Testing: This version will run close to release but without recompiling crates every time.

cargo run --bin ui --profile=rapid

How to add the extension settings in Uplink:

Open Uplink and navigate to Settings > Extensions > Settings > Open Extensions.
In another Finder window, open Uplink.
Inside Uplink, go to Target > Debug, where you'll find the Emoji selector.
Drag the Emoji selector to the Extensions window that is still open.
Close all open windows.
Finally, run cargo run trace2.
