Drop-in Slack alternative with verifiable crypto, but one-time secret sharing exists.

Strengths
  • •Zero-knowledge architecture: AES-256-GCM with permanent deletion after first view or expiry.
  • •Self-hosted and open-source removes third-party trust; MIT license encourages adoption.
Weaknesses
  • •One-time secret sharing is solved: Bitwarden Send, Virtru, and enterprise alternatives exist.
  • •No visible demo, no production instance, and setup requires 8+ environment variables—high friction.
