This is the code for a final project from my APUSH class in school. As such, it is no longer being developed. The product is an encrypted messaging service that also has some explanation of the different types of cryptography between 1945 and present day. It has a full user account system with built in messaging. It is written in Golang and JavaScript with the frontend using React.
