I used #cryptpad today and it's really really good and does very much exactly what I want.

They're doing very good work!

I'm split on the name.. Some complain about it, some tell me it's great..

Ludovic Dubost @ldubost.bsky.social · Jun 21

Actually CryptPad was created at XWiki, who has now 9 employees on it :) There are very little volunteers on CryptPad beyond those that use it and make it known through that. But maybe we need to fix that. As a CEO, I've always been refraining to ask for free work, but for CryptPad, I might.

Ludovic Dubost @ldubost.bsky.social · Jun 21

If people have suggestions on how we can fix that for CryptPad, I'm open for discussions.

If there are volunteers to help, we'd like to give a push on this but we have no spare money for it. Our lead designer is also our project lead and time is lacking

We started with the simple and ease of use goal, have been deriving into larger platform.. We want to do both.. We want to do desktop and mobile.. Funding matters..

Ludovic Dubost @ldubost.bsky.social · Jun 21

Probably better on mobile but only for basic docs. Life is easier will smaller goals and more money. It is for sure in our goals to change that.. Any help welcome.

No e2ee in Docs and only text docs. nice UI which we plan to match over time. Any support for helping us on that would be appreciated.

Back in Paris from @apell.info conf, @[email protected] conf and @ngi4eu.bsky.social Forum 2025. All the conversations there gave me a huge motivation boost. Many contacts, many ideas, many opportunities, many challenges also to tackle. Open Source rocks.
Thank you all.

You can't be private with Windows, not that there are no other reasons for that.

Sounds like a good reason to call for not using Windows and making boycot campaigns.

Great example of how BigTech can screw with us users and small tech actors. While Signal has the capacity to act, for many other it will be tough. What about browsers ?What about small companies or indépendant developers.

There are innovators, and there are people who don't mind playing with fire, it's fairly difficult not to end up in the second category when you do AI

It's a good idea not to use Whatsapp. Now it's not like we did not know that already.
