You guys really might want to release a browser extension (and/or native apps) instead of a website. You're going to have a serious uphill battle convincing anyone in the security community that your webapp is secure against tampering. Even with code signing/verification.
Also, open-source it now! I've been in the process of launching something similar (think, client-side encrypted Evernote/Pinterest geared towards programmers/creatives/collaboration) and a lot of the great feedback I've gotten is from people checking out the source. Most of the people who care about the crypto aspects these days are the ones with 1s and 0s running through their heads, at least a good portion. They're going to want to see code.
Best of luck on the kickstarter!
- theabraham 13y agoLooks like they're already open sourced on Github: https://github.com/cryptic-io https://github.com/cryptic-io
- marcopolo 13y agoThanks! It's been open sourced since conception, here's the repo: https://github.com/cryptic-io/web https://github.com/cryptic-io/web. We choose a website because it has the smallest barrier of entry. We are planning on releasing a browser extension that would verify the code on the website against the open source repo to prevent tampering. We are planning on making a native app in the future as well.
