  People will emotionally react and download a beautiful secure app because privacy is a hot topic right now. The market could be quite large if opinion leaders use this app.

  In my opinion, all private communication should be safe from eavesdroppers. For one on one chats, many applications implement encryption through OTR or PGP. I haven't found anything comparable for group chats, though. I'm asking because I've made secure alternative to e-mail ResoMail, but I don't see a large pool of users ready to switch to secure comunications. For me it's a matter of convenience and network effects. Do I have to enter a passphrase every time I send a message? Do I need yet another client for this proprietary IM network? Does the client implement the features I expect? As for your software, first of all, it's great that you're working on it. These are the questions that come to my mind: What are the benefits of ResoMail compared to email + PGP? You should explain why it's necessary to break compatibility. Can I trust it? People who really need cryptography will use software that they know is reliable, e.g. a version of GnuPG that has been audited by an expert. How do I know your implementation is secure? It's not enough to state that it's open source. You say it's open source, but where is the source code? Is the traditional email client UX still the best way to go? Is it accepted by users who grew up with Facebook and expect less friction?
