Ask HN: Does anyone know an good open-source library to learn e2ee?

Most e2ee I come across are not truly end-to-end. Other than Signal, does anyone know any good open source libraries that demonstrates e2ee like station-to-station protocol and ratcheting?

I know about the noise protocol, but I am not sure how good it is as I don't use it: http://www.noiseprotocol.org/

Interestingly the website is not mobile friendly and not using HTTPS.

It is indeed not mobile friendly, but it is using HTTPS.

You are right. They are using a certificate that is not signed by a certificate authority included by default in web browsers.

I had that installed by default though. Weird.
