Mask Network ·

Mask Network(originally named as Maskbook) is a portal to the new, open internet. With Mask Network, you can send encrypted posts to your friends, participate in cryptocurrency lucky-draws, and share encrypted files on the platforms you are already using.

For general introductions, see Mask.io.

Documentation for developers

• License: GNU AGPL v3
• Code Style: Use prettier
• Git flow enabled, master as the latest branch, released as the stable branch
• Use Conventional Commits since 1.4.0
• Crypto: We're using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) of the SECP256-k1 parameters for secret sharing and AES-GCM for encryption
• Data transfer between users: We're using gun.js

Install dependencies

• yarn install

Build and developing

• yarn start:firefox runs extension in a new firefox session.
• yarn start:android runs extension in a usb connected android device.
• yarn start runs extension in other browsers, manually loading required. This plugin may help you to reload extension quicker.
• yarn storybook to start StoryBook. Used for UI only developing.
• yarn build build a production version. Output files in ./build/

Conditional compilation

• If branch name contains full, CI will build for all targets
• If branch name contains ios, CI will build for target iOS
• If branch name contains android or gecko, CI will build for target firefox gecko
• For any other branches, CI will build for target base chromium firefox

Other libraries we are using

• @holoflows/kit - A toolkit for extension developing
• anchorme - Use it to detect links in the text
• elliptic - A crypto library, we use it to encrypt and decrypt
• gun - A decentralized graph database we use it to sync user's shared crypto key
• pvtsutils and tiny-secp256k1 - A crypto library, we use it to zip and unzip SECP256k1 keys but not using it to encrypt/decrypt
• webcrypto-liner - A wrapper library, it wrap elliptic into WebCrypto API
