"Signal has sacrificed ease of use in favour of security by refusing to release a web app for some time.. they're doing pretty OK in terms of number of users. I think it's also fine to choose a different balance and favour ease of use more, but concessions to security based on your team's priorities should at least be acknowledged."

Again you mention Signal, a org bootstrapoed with a promise of 100m$ and way more funding than us. They have apps for iOS, Android, Linux, Mac, Windows. Are you realizing the comparison you do ?

You say our concessions to security should be acknowledged. Check our white paper.. We do mention code hacking on the server. When did we say we protect you from your computer setup ?

You want us to warn users about links more visibly. Fine, make reasonable proposals ?

You want us to make desktop apps.. We want that too.. We tell you it does not fully solve the issues you mention.

You want us to drop web apps like Signal who does not do that. We tell you this would kill CryptPad.

Yes the way you overstate the issue instead of telling activist to run their own servers, with a browser they control on an OS they control, is indeed hurting. You mention users are not knowledgeable. This FUD reduces the trust in our work. Sure I understand you are trying awareness.. Which for us ends up being social pressure.

Open Source is simple.. Don't complain, code... Contribute...
