Handcryption Status Update 0.0.3.6

---

What Happened?

---

I added a cool new feature to the Handcryption device-GROUP CHATS!! This allows every user with a Handcryption device who opts to join the group to participate in conversations, fostering a more connected experience among users. I learned how to use Flask (thanks to GeeksforGeeks), which enabled me to seamlessly integrate the group chat feature into the server code running on the Raspberry Pi.

In addition to the chat functionality, there is now a website hosted on the Raspberry Pi’s IP address that displays all the messages in the group chat. The caveat is that every message on the website is shown in its encrypted form to maintain security and confidentiality.

---

Looking ahead, I plan to implement a feature that would allow Handcryption users to sign in to the website. This will enable them to view messages in a decrypted format, enhancing user experience while still prioritizing privacy. I believe these developments will significantly improve user engagement and create a more dynamic platform for communication.

 My device(s) are becoming more and more like a phone
