## Description

Comm is a private messaging app for communities! Sort of like Discord + Signal.<br><br>- In Comm, each community is hosted on somebody&#39;s keyserver.<br>- You can set up a keyserver on your laptop or in the cloud.<br>- Comm won&#39;t host your keyserver for you. (We don&#39;t want to have access to your data!)<br>- You don&#39;t need a keyserver to join a community, but you do need one to create a community.<br><br>Keyservers enable us to offer the sort of sophisticated feature set that typically relies on corporate servers on the cloud, without sacrificing the privacy of our users.<br><br>- Each community on Comm contains a tree structure of chat threads. Our threads are sort of like channels in Discord, but they can be nested inside each other.<br>- Comm supports &quot;sidebars&quot;, which are sort of like threads in Slack. Sidebars are created in response to a message in a parent thread.<br>- Along with the default chat functionality, Comm also supports a library of apps to customize your community. We&#39;re launching with a Calendar app, and have more apps in the pipeline!
