That sounds about right. However this is a closed-source project, so I don't see why it would be picked up by privacy enthusiasts.
- ghayes 11y agoAside of the closed-source aspect, that is a great way to run a secure peer-to-peer messaging platform / social network. I believe this is how iMessage also encrypts communication.
- daviddahl 11y agoNo, it is fully open source from day one: https://github.com/Crypton/statusapp https://github.com/Crypton/statusapp
- falien 11y agoThis seems buried. Is there a reason it's not mentioned or linked on the kloak page? I actually went looking for the code and couldn't find that repository.
- daviddahl 11y agoThe link to the source code is in the about screen in the app. Hardly buried. I will have it added to the site, I was unaware of this.
- falien 11y agoThanks. I figured it was likely in the app, but for an experiment like this, that appeals to many of the ideals of an open source philosophy, I'm less likely to bother installing it if I'm unaware that it's an open source project. Obviously the appeal ultimately needs to be greater than just being open source, but that initial bump can't hurt the outcome of the experiment.
