Orbitaly

Messenger encryption paranoia, but self-hosted

Context

A self-hosted Matrix onboarding platform built because trusting random messenger stacks felt reckless. Orbitaly turns Matrix client setup into a flow that normal people can finish without rage quitting.

Why I built it

I was paranoid about messenger encryption and onboarding complexity, so I built Orbitaly to make secure Matrix client onboarding as easy as possible while keeping everything under my own control.
