Databag vs DumDum
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Databag
Notable features of Databag include: - Decentralized (direct communication between app and selfhosted server) - Federated (accounts on different nodes can communicate) - Public-Private key based identity (not bound to any blockchain or hosting domain) - End-to-End encryption (the hosting admin cannot view sealed topics, default unsealed) - Audio and Video Calls (nat traversal requires separate relay server) - Topic based threads (messages organized by topic not contacts) - Lightweight (server can run on a raspberry pi zero v1.3) - Low latency (use of websockets for push events to avoid polling) - Unlimited accounts per node (host for your whole family) - Mobile alerts for new contacts, messages, and calls (supports UnifiedPush)
DumDum
Designed as a simple, minimalistic & universal client for connecting to SOCKS/HTTP/HTTPS proxies and based on VpnService.
