App doesn't appear to work for me. I downloaded the precompiled windows app, and it loads a window that says "Hello React" and gives error popups too.
I haven't had time to fully test it on Windows, only Mac. The app is still in pre-release. I would love any PRs fixing this issue!
Okay, I'll be the contrarian one: I HATE the name. There have already been trends in the mainstream and right wing media that "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear", that the NSA only monitors the communication of criminals, and that things like iPhone encryption help terrorists first. With that in mind, can you imagine the reaction that the average lay-person will have when they see a clickbait head…

Earlier quoted context omitted.
This looks like an interesting project but has a poor name choice. If it's targeted at non technical users, it may actually prevent them from using it, out of fear that just using it is illegal.
It's not targeted at entirely non technical users. That's why it's on Hacker News ;)
How about calling it "Freedom"

Agree. Epithets like "darknet", "dark mail", "underground net" etc. along with names like this certainly doesn't help to improve encryption and privacy promoting software image to general public and media. I understand that it's a joke, but only a handful people will get that, for most others it will be another app that enables pedophiles and terrorist to get away with their crimes.
Really cool, it'd be nice to have a few more screenshots or maybe a video of the usage. It's not fully clear if Felony actually sends the message or only encrypts it and allows you to send the encrypted message in another medium.
