WhisperNet v1.0.0

WhisperNet v1.0.0

WhisperNet is a decentralized local area network messenger. It uses high-performance C++ networking to enable direct, serverless communication between devices on your local network (Wi-Fi or LAN). No internet connection or central servers are required.

This release compiles the C++ socket interface, Python FastAPI server, and React frontend assets into a single, standalone executable that launches the app in a single click with zero configuration.

✨ Features

• Fully P2P & Private: All communication is direct (peer-to-peer) and never leaves your local network.
• Instant Auto-Discovery: Automatically detects other WhisperNet users on the same subnet without manual setup.
• Zero Configuration: Start chatting immediately without registering accounts or configuring servers.
• Retro Terminal UI: Terminal-style chat client designed to scale onto desktop and mobile layouts seamlessly.
• Standalone Bundle: Zero runtime dependencies; no python, node, or compiler installations needed on the host system.
