+ <h1>About MeshBay</h1>
+
+ <p>MeshBay is a decentralized, peer-to-peer platform for file sharing,
+ video streaming, and group messaging. It combines identity federation
+ (via Mesh Hubs) with truly peer-to-peer data exchange (via Mesh Nodes).</p>
+
+ <h2>Architecture</h2>
+ <p>The system has three components:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Mesh Hub</strong> — a lightweight identity authority and group registry.
+ It stores user accounts and group metadata, but never touches content.</li>
+ <li><strong>Mesh Node</strong> — runs on the host user's machine. It stores and serves
+ all files, streams, and chat messages directly to group members.</li>
+ <li><strong>Mesh Client</strong> — a web browser or Android app. Connects directly to
+ nodes for all data transfer. The hub is never in the data path.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h2>Security</h2>
+ <p>Private groups use end-to-end encryption with ChaCha20-Poly1305.
+ Authentication uses Ed25519 signed JWTs. Key exchange is based on
+ X25519 ECDH with HKDF. Passwords are hashed with Argon2id (256 MB).</p>
+
+ <h2>Open Source</h2>
+ <p>MeshBay is open source. The code is available on
+ <a href="https://github.com/cbesson/meshbay">GitHub</a>.</p>
+
+ <h2>Contact</h2>
+ <p>For questions or bug reports, open an issue on the
+ <a href="https://github.com/cbesson/meshbay/issues">GitHub issue tracker</a>.</p>
