> Coming soon: End-to-end Encryption. Your most confidential conversations belong to you, and just you. Although this seems so be a good intention, I question: do the regular conversations _not_ belong to yourself?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
(I work at Quill.) Of course! We take your privacy and security very seriously. Your regular conversations are absolutely yours -- your messages by default are encrypted in transit and at rest. For user's that want extra security, we plan on offering e2e encryption for direct messages and groups (and maybe eventually channels). There are some tradeoffs with e2e encryption including scalability, search, history, and j…
Do you have transit and at rest encryption now?
(I work at Quill too). Yes, absolutely! That is just table stakes when it comes to security for your messaging experience.
Am I missing something here? It talks about focus but has an extremely busy UI with colors and icons in your face all the time. Maybe it's better to actually use it than see the screenshots?
May be hard to get across the _feel_ of using a product in screenshots -- we're ramping up our invites (making sure things scale + features work as expected!) but we'll be fully open quite soon! :) (and, we might be slightly partial to dense UIs!)

(I work at Quill.) Everything in Quill is a thread -- which is quite a big shift from an IRC-like firehose (even with optional threading.) We've found the shift to have threading by default creates a behavior where you opt into just the conversations you care about, and don't have to skim through hundreds of messages to find what's relevant (or, say, replies to an earlier conversation.) May be hard to get across the…

Are you sure the same problem is also applicable to teams which are going to be much smaller than an irc channel and wouldn't be as busy as IRC? A private channel with a subset of team members wouldn't be the same as a public irc channel.

So it is essentially a forum / message board? All threads and replies, no "chat"?
What we've found is when a group gets large and/or complex enough, they end up graduating to creating a team and using the channels/threads model.
Is this mac only? Are there plans for PC, Desktop, apps? The website /feels/ very mac-centric which is why I am assuming and that feels like a disastrous mistake if its the case.
Quill is available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
