It is very interesting that they use the IPFS protocol, but it is disappointing that only the front-end is open source and that there is no self-hosted solution.
It’s actually fairly concerning. I trust encryption but it is still always wiser to practice defense in depth. I’d rather not hand out the cyphertext of my messages to anyone who wants to do sidechannel analysis, encryption implementation failures or even just archiving my messages to crack in 50 years when quantum computers become popular.
