Pink Phone — a couple's secret garden, self-hosted

What it is

Three quiet little rituals

📖

Stories, photos & videos, emoji reactions (free/custom ones too) and comments. Drafts you can polish before sending.

🌦️

Share your mood in one tap; it resets at midnight in your timezone. A hot or playful mood gently nudges the other.

🎲

Send little challenges with a tiny state machine — proposed → accepted / adjust → mission accomplished — plus a curated idea bank.

🤫

Blurred by default, revealed by press-and-hold. Optional view-once mode, opt-in downloads you control, and encryptable at rest (AES-256-GCM).

⚡

WebSocket real-time: new posts, moods, reactions and "✓✓ Seen" read receipts sync instantly. "What's new" badges at home.

🔒

Self-hosted, no third parties, no telemetry. Email/password or OIDC/SSO, optional device PIN & biometric unlock. FR / EN, dark & cosy.

Front — React 18 + TypeScript + Tailwind, shipped as an installable PWA (service worker, offline fonts).
Back — Rust / Axum + Tokio, Postgres via sqlx, JWT + Argon2id, Web Push, WebSocket.
Deploy — one Docker Compose: Postgres + API + nginx serving the PWA and reverse-proxying /api (same-origin).
Storybook-first — every component is built and validated in isolation before it reaches a screen.

Media served only through an authenticated route — never from a public folder.
Encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) with a key you control; key rotation supported.
Session revocation, content scoped per space, no cross-space leakage.
AGPL-3.0, no analytics, no external calls — runs entirely on your box.
