ControlZ is a custom-made chat application and an ambitious project that originated from the need to keep any citizen's privacy intact from some of the new regulations that the EU government wants to let pass, better known as Chatcontrol 2.0.
ControlZ targets both beefy machines and small servers.
The original project is designed for a Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB of RAM
with a modest SSD storage of 256GB.
The project is very far from being finished, but partial progress has been made:
- Design the file formats the application is going to deal with
- Implement these formats
- Test these formats
- Design the networking API for communication
- Implement this API
- Test this API
- Design server structure
- Implement configuration scripts and build options satisfying different configuration options
- Make backend implementations configuration-agnostic
- Implement headless server functionality
- Implement headless client functionality
- Implement a GUI with
Dear ImGui - Link the GUI with the backend in a thread-safe manner
More elements may be added to this list in the future.

Dependencies will need to be added with git submodules.
