vsecoder 51bc0a1850 fix(feed): card spacing, action-row distribution, tab strip, detail inset
- PostCard rows got cramped paddings and a near-invisible divider.
  Increased paddingTop 12→16, paddingBottom 12→18, paddingHorizontal
  14→16; divider colour #141414→#222222 so the seam between posts is
  legible on OLED blacks.
- Action row (chat / ❤ / view / share) used a fixed gap:32 + spacer.
  Reworked to four flex:1 cells with justifyContent: space-between,
  so the first three icons distribute evenly across the row and share
  pins to the right edge. Matches Twitter's layout where each action
  occupies a quarter of the row regardless of label width.
- Feed tab strip (Подписки / Для вас / В тренде) used flex:1 +
  gap:10 which bunched the three labels together visually. Switched
  to justifyContent: space-between + paddingHorizontal:20 so each
  tab hugs its label and the three labels spread to the edges with
  full horizontal breathing room.
- Post detail screen (/feed/[id]) and hashtag feed (/feed/tag/[tag])
  were missing the safe-area top inset — their headers butted right
  against the status bar / notch. Added useSafeAreaInsets().top as
  paddingTop on the outer View, matching the rest of the app.

DChain Messenger — React Native Client

E2E-encrypted mobile/desktop messenger built on the DChain blockchain stack.

Stack: React Native · Expo · NativeWind (Tailwind) · TweetNaCl · Zustand

Quick Start

cd client-app
npm install
npx expo start          # opens Expo Dev Tools
# Press 'i' for iOS simulator, 'a' for Android, 'w' for web

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+
  • Expo Go on your phone (for Expo tunnel), or iOS/Android emulator
  • A running DChain node (see root README for docker compose up --build -d)

Cryptography

Operation Algorithm Library
Transaction signing Ed25519 TweetNaCl sign
Key exchange X25519 (Curve25519) TweetNaCl box
Message encryption NaCl box (XSalsa20-Poly1305) TweetNaCl box
Key storage Device secure enclave expo-secure-store

Messages are encrypted as:

Envelope {
  sender_pub:    <X25519 hex>   // sender's public key
  recipient_pub: <X25519 hex>   // recipient's public key
  nonce:         <24-byte hex>  // random per message
  ciphertext:    <hex>          // NaCl box(plaintext, nonce, sender_priv, recipient_pub)
}

Connect to your node

  1. Start the DChain node: docker compose up --build -d
  2. Open the app → Settings → Node URL → http://YOUR_IP:8081
  3. If using Expo Go on physical device: your PC and phone must be on the same network, or use npx expo start --tunnel

Key File Format

The key.json exported/imported by the app:

{
  "pub_key":     "26018d40...",   // Ed25519 public key (64 hex chars)
  "priv_key":    "...",           // Ed25519 private key (128 hex chars)
  "x25519_pub":  "...",           // X25519 public key (64 hex chars)
  "x25519_priv": "..."            // X25519 private key (64 hex chars)
}

This is the same format as the Go node's --key flag.
