The current invitation process for River chat rooms, requiring manual public key exchanges between inviters and invitees, is cumbersome. This proposal aims to streamline the process by introducing a one-time-use URL invite system.

Proposal:

  • Inviters generate a one-time-use URL containing an embedded private key, part of a public-private key pair.
  • The invitee clicks the URL, which negotiates the invitation and seamlessly adds them to the chat room.

Benefits:

  • Simplifies the invitation process, reducing friction for new users.
  • Enhances user experience by eliminating manual key exchanges.
  • Ensures secure and private handling of invitations through negotiated URL use.

Considerations:

  • The security of one-time-use URLs and their proper invalidation after use.
  • Secure storage and transfer of the private key within the URL.
