Love the idea, hate the name.
Thx :). Whats wrong with the name ? :)
Name is meh, but the url is worse. Why not dikalo.net? or dikalo.co?
Also, "messaging done right" is a bad tagline as it doesn't tell me anything.

Is there anything that's good with it? It's not very short, not rememberable, resembles word "dick", hard to use as a verb, doesn't have pleasant sounds, what's up with the domain "dklo"- hard to pronounce, remember etc (and then remember it's ".co" of all the unusual tlds).
Where does the name even come from?

We will reformulate that. What we mean is that we never save user emails on our servers in clear text. The emails are encrypted on the clients before being sent to us. We want to know as little as possible about our users.

In clear we dont save user emails in clear on our servers. Nor do we log them. We want to as little as possible about our users.

and what are you doing with the random text per user (i.e. the encrypted emails)? Why do you need them?
If they are encrypted by the user, how can you verify their email then? This does not add up.

We will offer alternative domains. dikalo.net and dikalo.co beeing one of those. Also the landing page will have more infos soon.
With messaging done right we mean Messaging without you giving up any private infos. No email, no phone nr, no sign up required. In fact you can use Dikalo without ever opening an account.
The reason we started with dklo.co is because we wanted people to type as little as possible.

Where the Dikalo name comes from is in our FAQ. I dont know we might be biased but we like Dikalo better than WhatsApp :) :)

We saved the encrypted version to enable password reset. When you reset your password we send an activation code to the email you signed up with (We don’t save that email ).
To reset your password you need to enter that email. We encrypt the value on the client and compare it we the value we have on our server. To make sure it s really you
But at any time we don’t have user emails stored on our system. So If someone gets access she will never see emails in clear text.
And most importantly we will never send users marketing emails. Only registration and password reset emails. We want to know as little as possible about our users.

Okay and how do you choose the key for the encryption? If it is the same for all users (which from what you said it kind of has to be?) you could just decrypt it?
