👋 Hey #FOSS community! Need your wisdom on grant funding...

I've been developing a decentralized chat app that challenges the centralized model - think WhatsApp but with zero servers, complete privacy, and VR capabilities built right into the browser.

🔍 What makes it different:
- Runs entirely in browser (JavaScript/PWA)
- Direct P2P connections via WebRTC
- Industry-grade encryption by default
- Experimental AR/VR shared spaces
- Users own 100% of their data

The project is open-source and functional, but needs funding to:
- Improve security auditing
- Expand mobile platform support
- Develop accessibility features
- Build developer documentation

Has anyone had success with grants for privacy-focused or decentralization projects? Especially interested in orgs that value user empowerment over profit.

Hey y'all !

New week, so I decided to get productive and re-do my "DarkXero-Bytes" blog, switching from #MKDocs to #Hugo.

While doing that I decided to post about my #NixOS journey for the past week. Have fun reading...
