> secushare is a research project that hasn't reached prototype status, yet. Consider that it basically consists of a new Internet stack combined with a full-fledged distributed scalability alternative to cloud technology. The challenge is so big, please be patient that we're not done quite yet.
(I agree that the homepage is not clear at all btw)
I have a feeling it was written by people whose mother tongue is not English - probably Italian.
Then users could "download" by brute-forcing each byte of data. This would not only keep the content private but also the metadata.
It might also speed up adoption.
Yes, the overwhelming impression is that they'd like to avoid being like WhatsApp in that they don't want to have any users.
Even if you are hoping to contribute, the "Getting Started" section which actually details what exists of the project is buried down at the bottom of the page - and that section is the closest the site comes to giving a proper explanation of what secushare actually is in terms of technology. The rest is waffle.
What makes you say that?

I suspect your issue stems from your approach to the project. I found the website tremendously informative. I spent a great deal of time on reading from top to bottom, and I followed the links, even links outside of Secushare.
The website tells you exactly what Secushare is, it goes into detail, you just have to go through "Navigation", and for example when you encounter an unfamiliar term in the context of the project, click on it to gain understanding, then continue.
You may want to start with https://secushare.org/, then go to https://secushare.org/introduction. You will reach section "Buzzwords to Dig Into". Go through them one by one, or pick whichever you would like to know more about. You could go to "Navigation -> Answers" instead as there will be links to the same pages. There are many different ways to go about this, but it essentially boils down to taking the time and effort to do so, and an open, curious mind.
Is this a thing I can sign up to? How does it make my life better? All I can tell so far is that it’s secure and some kind of social network
Compare this to the WhatsApp landing page: https://www.whatsapp.com/
Edit: looks like it’s a framework for building apps, still unclear to me if it’s usable or any apps exist for it yet
