With no mission statement or philosophy about data privacy or content filtering it's just appears to me as another for-profit company with no ethical stand point, pass.

The bitcoin support is a huge red flag for me. I really hope they scrap that.

For an application that claims to be "private and encrypted", the lack of available source code doesn't inspire much confidence. Why should I put trust in them?

The bitcoin/Lightning support is a huge positive for me. I really hope they keep that.

Keet is unbelievably user friendly with the best video and audio quality I’ve experienced on any network comms app (looking at you Zoom, Signal, WhatsApp, Google Meet…) maybe only FaceTime can hold something of a candle. What’s blowing my mind about Keet is that the quality is so good AND it’s 100% P2P, E2EE, and allows sharing large files (e.g. videos) in the chat that can be streamed as if they were already on my device. The UX is top tier, the features are beyond elite - who can even compete? I cannot wait for them to open source the platform, the internet of peers is upon us!
