 restandvest#9326 | vishnu are you planning to add web support too as you were mentioning earlier? Or just desktop support? Would web support have any other blockers once you've ported it for desktop in the other branch? | 10:21:20 |
|  vishnu#8699 joined the room. | 10:29:35 |
| vishnu#8699 | For starters, it'll just be desktop | 10:29:35 |
| restandvest#9326 | Gotcha, would web have any technical blockers persay for you to spin it up there too? Just curious, if you don't mind me asking | 10:30:45 |
| vishnu#8699 | For starters, there's no "secure storage" on web. Will have to workaround that. Also I'm pretty sure some of the packages we are currently using will be unsupported on web. Yet to know which ones | 10:34:34 |
| vishnu#8699 | We can workaround secure storage by storing encrypted credentials to local storage and prompting for a passphrase each time | 10:35:06 |
| vishnu#8699 | You could try cloning the repo and building for mac/web btw. The former should compile and start up. Just use an account different from your main one, you'll be able to see the progress 🙂 | 10:36:14 |
 Manav#8403 | For the sake of other people reading this, I'll summarize the current state of the desktop version of ente auth:
- We do already have a working version of the ente auth app for desktop, and it seems to be fine from a quick look.
- However, since the change to get it to build on desktop involved changing the underlying crypto (libsodium) library that we use, there is a big risk that there might be a bug somewhere that could potentially result in data corruption. So we felt it was not prudent to release it until we have time to test it more.
- The code is here - https://github.com/ente-io/auth/tree/desktop#readme. Again, a warning is of order. Use it with your main account only at your own risk. | 11:00:00 |

| green.#0182 | wait nvm im stupid | 13:13:24 |
| vishnu#8699 | Guys, please use a dummy account for builds from this branch. Once this is well tested and merged, you can easily export your keys and import it into your main account. | 13:16:47 |
| green.#0182 | will do dw | 13:17:05 |

Just out of curiosity, what cryptography library does it use if it doesn't use libsodium? And does ente photos also use different cryptography libraries depending on the platform? | 15:51:42 |
| vishnu#8699 | Hey, it's still libsodium, just a different wrapper that has API contracts that are different from the one we've been using so far | 15:54:39 |
| vishnu#8699 | The existing Flutter library we are using does not support desktop, hence the attempted swap | 15:55:51 |
| Laurens | Ah okay got it, thanks | 16:40:53 |
