TextSecure Chromium Implementation

This is very early stuff and exists primarily to get the crypto in place. Note that the code is currently quite messy (its all in one file!), but it needs to work first, then it can be heavily cleaned up later.

Getting Started with Development

• Clone the repo
• Open Chrome
• Go to chrome://extensions/
• Enable developer mode (checkbox on the top right)
• Click "Load unpacked extension..."
• Point to the repo's directory

Tests

Please write tests! Our testing framework is mocha and our assertion library is chai:

• http://visionmedia.github.io/mocha/
• http://chaijs.com/api/assert/

Tips/Tricks

• For Dev purposes, the test server always uses code 111111
• Loading the test.html page may read, write or clear localStorage. To avoid having to choose between running tests and preserving your existing messages, keys, and other extension data, much of the test suite can be run by starting a local webserver in the repository root, e.g. python -m SimpleHTTPServer. You can then access the test page at http://0.0.0.0:8000.
