Thanks for your advice!
1. Yeah. I should have had screenshots on my webpage :).
2. It's Chacha20-Poly1305-IETF. I haven't have time to document the protocol, so if anyone wants to see it, they need to read the code :).
3. Yeah, that's also in the plan.
My point is that average people might not care about the exact algo being used. They might not even care that it's actually encrypted, so there is no need to specify it in the homepage. The only point of documenting this might be just for devs or people who wouldn't use before they know how it works.
- 627467 5y agoI agree with you, the details on the frontpage are enough for 99.99% of users, but IMO security is something that people rely on "trusted sources" so having somewhere easily accessible for these "trusted sources" to learn how it works, helps, specially when a project is new. After a while people just "know" that signal is secure not because they know how it works but because they heard enough "trusted sources" describe signal as such.
