Wait a second, Element has had working optional private and group E2EE for a while, why can't Zulip?
- stavros 4y agoThe simple answer is that that's like asking "boats can float, why can't cars?".
- skjoldr 4y agoIt did require a lot of effort for Element, Element is a competitor to Zulip, and I found the UX around E2EE of Element to be perfectly acceptable and consistent with UX of the previous versions, so your comment was also a bit disingenuous IMO. It is obvious that E2EE would involve a big rework of the codebase, but it is neither impossible nor unnecessary. If there are architectural problems with it, I have to question the original developer intent, as a lot of stuff that E2EE requires to work also improve privacy in general.
