I think the CEO is available there for a chat. You could ask him :) To me this could be a game changer if done right.
Re:Our attempt to disrupt messaging on Saturday December 10, 2016 @06:32AM (#13145195)
Well we guess, when it comes to small companies that are trying to make their way people are more demanding ? Do you ask WhatsApp and co source code ? We have absolut no interest in user data. Thats why you can use Dikalo without even signing up. The messages never reach our servers in clear and we dont even save users emails in clear. We will have security audits. For sure. We are just getting started. Just give us a try :)
Not working on phones yet. Only desktops for now. Native mobile apps will come mid January.
While there is no 100% secure system, we are working very very hard to make our system as much secure as possible.
Fixed.
We will offer other urls. We want of course the entire planet to use the servce. :) : )
Agreed. And we will def. provide better looking URLS.
We will offer alternate domains. But it s a big world. With other languages. Not everything is English/German/French.
We are announcing our product. Just like any one else would do. The product will be ready december 5th.

We are eagier to get feedback about the idea yes. Our goal is not to get trafic. But to build something people want to use. And it starts with getting feedback like lots of people have been giving us here.

We also explain why we think anyone else is doind it wrong.

Not every word comes from English. Dikalo has a meaning in other languages.

It s a big world you know.

That s an error. Will be fixed asap. We are based in Germany.
:) I think once you use the service you will get used to the name :)
Exactly. This is the main idea behind Dikalo. Your private stuff belong to you. We are only interested in sending your messages. This is why you can use Dikalo without even siging up
We saved the encrypted version to enable password reset. When you reset your password we send an activation code to the email you signed up with (We don’t save that email ). To reset your password you need to enter that email. We encrypt the value on the client and compare it we the value we have on our server. To make sure it s really you But at any time we don’t have user emails stored on our system. So If someone gets access she will never see emails in clear text. And most importantly we will never send users marketing emails. Only registration and password reset emails. We want to know as little as possible about our users.
Where the Dikalo name comes from is in our FAQ. I dont know we might be biased but we like Dikalo better than WhatsApp :) :)
We will offer alternative domains. dikalo.net and dikalo.co beeing one of those. Also the landing page will have more infos soon.

With messaging done right we mean Messaging without you giving up any private infos. No email, no phone nr, no sign up required. In fact you can use Dikalo without ever opening an account.

The reason we started with dklo.co is because we wanted people to type as little as possible.

In clear we dont save user emails in clear on our servers. Nor do we log them. We want to as little as possible about our users.
We will reformulate that. What we mean is that we never save user emails on our servers in clear text. The emails are encrypted on the clients before being sent to us. We want to know as little as possible about our users.
This is strange. https://www.dklo.co/ should work just fine. No once has complained till now.
True there is a risc of being banned at some places. But to it is more important to offer a service that works the right way. We will find a way to be available every where.
We are working hard to make it available soon. Stay tuned.
Fixed.
Yes. Works something like that. Thanks a lot :) :)
Thx :). Whats wrong with the name ? :)
We dont save any personal data on our servers. So even if they come to us we simply have nothing to give. Plus there is no way to map a given message to a given user
Agreed. We will clear all this our before December 5th. We are very serious about what we are doing.
Should be back up now.
