Picker speed (Phase 1+2): - screen_sources.rs split into list_screen_sources (metadata only, returns in ~10ms) + capture_screen_source_thumbnail (single source, by id). ScreenSourcePicker now shows names + placeholders instantly and streams thumbnails in as each capture lands. Total wall-clock is bounded by the slowest source instead of the serial sum. - enumerate_screen_sources kept as a dead_code fallback so any rollout regression can switch the frontend back without code loss. Native capture (Phase 3): - New src-tauri/src/screen_capture.rs. start_screen_capture spawns a Rust thread per share that grabs frames via xcap, downscales to the user's quality preset, JPEG-encodes at Q72, and streams each frame through a Tauri Channel<FramePayload>. stop_screen_capture signals the stop flag and joins the worker. - Worker re-resolves the xcap handle inside the thread because xcap::Window holds a !Send HWND — passing the source id string across the thread boundary sidesteps that. - New lib/screenCapture.ts: decodes each frame into an ImageBitmap, draws to an offscreen canvas, exposes canvas.captureStream() as the MediaStream LiveKit publishes. Latest-wins frame queue drops stale frames when the JS side falls behind the Rust producer. 3s first- frame timeout so a silently-failing source (locked screen, DRM window) surfaces as a clean NativeCaptureUnavailable and we fall back to getDisplayMedia. - CallContext.startScreenShare takes the native path first when the picker provided a sourceId and system audio wasn't requested. The old chromeMediaSourceId attempt and final setScreenShareEnabled fallback stay in place for the audio case + non-Tauri runtimes. - stopScreenShare kills the native handle first, then unpublishes any manually-published ScreenShare/ScreenShareAudio tracks, then falls back to setScreenShareEnabled(false). disconnectRoom also stops the handle so we don't leak Rust threads across calls. Scope note: native path is video-only. System-audio capture needs WASAPI-loopback (Windows) or ScreenCaptureKit-audio (macOS); until those are wired, requesting audio in the picker falls through to the getDisplayMedia path and shows the OS picker for that one case.

chat-app
Private, end-to-end encrypted chat app for a small circle. Self-hosted Supabase backend, clients on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Server is zero-knowledge: it only stores ciphertexts and metadata needed to route them.
Milestone Roadmap
- Milestone 1 — Text Chat (current): auth, identity keys, 1:1 encrypted messaging, local history, push.
- Milestone 2 — Voice Calls: libsodium-secured WebRTC signaling via Supabase Realtime.
- Milestone 3 — Video Calls: same stack, add video tracks + bandwidth handling.
- Milestone 4 — Desktop Polish: feature parity with mobile, tray, notifications.
- Milestone 5 — Groups & Channels: Discord-like group channels with shared ratchet keys.

Tech Stack
- Mobile: Expo SDK 52, Expo Router, expo-secure-store, expo-sqlite, expo-notifications, react-native-libsodium.
- Desktop: Tauri v2, React 18, Vite, Tailwind, tauri-plugin-stronghold, tauri-plugin-sql, tauri-plugin-notification, Zustand.
- Backend: Supabase self-hosted (Postgres + GoTrue + PostgREST + Realtime + Storage + Edge Functions) on Hetzner, Caddy reverse proxy.
- Crypto: X25519 identity keys, XChaCha20-Poly1305 envelopes (libsodium / NaCl).
- Auth: email magic-link, invite-only.
Prerequisites

- Docker + Docker Compose (for running Supabase locally or on the VPS)
- Platform toolchain per target:
- iOS: Xcode
- Android: Android Studio + SDK
- macOS/Linux/Windows Tauri: see
apps/desktop/README.md

Architecture Overview
- Shared-first: Anything that can run in both React Native and the Tauri WebView lives in
packages/sharedand is imported via@chat-app/shared/*. Both hosts pass in adapters for platform-only concerns (secure storage, SQLite, libsodium backend). - Zero-knowledge server: Messages are encrypted client-side before insert. The server sees ciphertexts, a conversation id, a sender id, and a timestamp — nothing else.
- Key custody: X25519 private keys live in platform secure stores only (Keychain/Keystore on mobile, Stronghold on desktop). Public keys live in the
profilestable. - Realtime: Supabase Realtime delivers new ciphertext rows to subscribed clients. Push notifications are silent (data-only) — the client decrypts and composes the visible notification locally.
Security Checklist
- RLS enabled on every user-facing table
- Invite-only enforced in SQL (invites table + policy)
- No plaintext in push payloads
- Service role key never shipped to a client
- JWT secret rotated on first boot
- TLS via Caddy at the edge
