Uplink

Privacy First, Modular, P2P messaging client built atop Warp.

Uplink is written in pure Rust with a UI in Dioxus (which is also written in Rust). It was developed as a new foundation for implementing Warp features in a universal application.

The goal should be to build a hyper-customizable application that can run anywhere and support extensions.

Pre-Compiled Development

For rapid inspection of our deployed binaries, you can open the settings once signed into Uplink, then navigate to About and click the version number 10 times, enabling a Developer section in the settings. From here, you can enable experimental features and helpful dev tools.

Quickstart

To get running fast, ensure you have Rust installed.

Standard Run:

cargo run --bin uplink

Rapid Release Testing: This version will run close to release but without recompiling crates every time.

cargo run --bin uplink --profile=rapid
