You've written a blog in 5 minutes, but what about a secure, encrypted communications application?

This workshop will get you started with a simple static site, and iteratively build it up to become an end-to-end encrypted chat platform.

You'll learn how to get started quickly with various cloud services for authentication, data storage, and data retrieval, add encryption layers to the system, design data structures that won't leak metadata, and even provide mechanisms for plausible deniability.

Participants will benefit from having a moderate understanding of consuming APIs and be comfortable understanding JavaScript.
