KaspaTalk frontend

You can run the frontend on a different machine than the one you are running the backend on.

Activate the frontend from source code (on Linux Ubuntu/Mint)

Get KaspaTalk up and running, following KaspaTalk backend repository instructions
If you don't already have a private key and a testnet-11 address, download the genkeypair app from here https://github.com/kaspanet/kaspad/releases and run the following command:
- ./genkeypair --testnet
Save both information locally, for later
Fund your address with a lot of small UTXOs (1 KAS each); every UTXO will be used to send a single message
Open your terminal
Git clone this repository
Copy userSettings-example.js in the same folder and rename it to userSettings.js
Open userSettings.js and modify USER_PRIVATE_KEY, BACKEND_NODE and KASPA_NODE_WRPC by adding your private key and the IP address of your machine running KaspaTalk backend and the IP address of your WRPC connection to Kaspa node
Open the main folder and run the following commands to install all required dependecies:
- npm install vite
- npm install
Activate the development server with the following command:
- npm run dev
On your Chrome/Chromium browser open http://localhost:5173/
Starts the first conversation by cliking the "pen" button on the top of the sidepanel

IMPORTANT: Always keep your browser "Developer mode" activated when using KaspaTalk frontend, in order to collect useful logs from the console
