About

Cabal is an experimental peer-to-peer (P2P) community chat platform designed to facilitate seamless and decentralized communication. Unlike traditional chat applications, Cabal operates without servers, ensuring that your data remains local and under your control. Each chat group, or 'cabal,' is identified by a unique secret key, which you can share with friends to allow them to join your community. Cabal is still in its early stages, and while the team actively uses and develops it, occasional issues may arise. The community is encouraged to participate in its development via IRC or by joining the public cabal using the provided key. With Cabal, you can enjoy a robust, decentralized chat experience that's both private and resilient.
