Security
Whenever an application promises security and confidentiality, users just have to trust the developer team. Not only is it challenging to do encryption right, users are more and more accustomed to pay with their personal data, to benefit from new technologies. We believe that the best way to build trust is to publish the entire source code, this is why SilentNotes was turned into an open source project.
