Looks quite interesting. What did you create this with? I think you should have a better intro and maybe some video or something to outline what it is without people needing to log in

AngularJS, Express, Socket.io & MongoDB. However, I'm considering switching over to Postgres.

Encryption wise, I'm using CryptoJS for AES256 and OpenPGP.js for PGP.

All messages get encrypted in AES256 with a randomly created passphrase. The passphrase is then distributed to the recipients using PGP.

If it's a single server then PostgreSQL would certainly give the best performance considering how invasive MongoDB is. However, I'm sure you'll soon grow to multiple servers so that wouldn't be as big of a problem.

Keep MongoDB on it's own server.

I agree, a better intro, or a link to/picture of a sample profile would be nice. I hate having to sign up for things before I can see what I'm getting myself into.

Other than that, nice idea.
