+-- about webmsg -----------------------+
|                                       |
|  webmsg is a relay, not a database.   |
|                                       |
|  -> messages pass through the server  |
|     and are never written anywhere.   |
|  -> join late? you see nothing that   |
|     was said before you arrived.      |
|  -> rooms vanish when the last person |
|     leaves. no accounts. no logs.     |
|                                       |
|  encryption (optional, per room):     |
|  -> AES-256-GCM in your browser.      |
|  -> key = PBKDF2(keyphrase, salt).    |
|  -> the server only ever relays       |
|     ciphertext; it never sees the     |
|     keyphrase or the key.             |
|                                       |
|  green name = verified the keyphrase  |
|  red name   = has not verified it     |
|                                       |
