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…

Agreed. I understand the choice, but for the same effect at least pick "no felony" or "NotAFelony" or "Constitutional" just to hope that it gets debated in court whether "Constitutional" is illegal and used by IS*.

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.

yeah same here I get Javascript errors.

I don't think "no felony" has the same ring to it though! ;)

Awesome! I'll finally be able to stop using the horrible GPG Keychain app I used to use which didn't even allow pasted public keys.

YES EXACTLY!!!

Besides, the name suggests a new Scheme implementation rather than cryptographic software.

Although the name is ironic, it will reinforce the common vague notion that encryption is something politicized/controversial/illegal, and that's not a good thing for infosec. Looks great otherwise.

Thanks for the feedback)
