Conversations is a messanger for the next decade. Based on already established
|
|||
|
|
internet standards that have been around for over ten years Coversations isn’t
|
|||
|
|
trying to replace current commercial messangers. It will simply outlive them.
|
|||
|
|
Commercial, closed source products are coming and going. 15 years ago we had
|
|||
|
|
ICQ which was replaced by Skype. MySpace was replaced by Facebook. WhatsApp and
|
|||
|
|
Hangouts will disapear soon. Internet standards however stick around. People are
|
|||
|
|
still using IRC and e-mail even though these protocols have been around for
|
|||
|
|
decades. Utilizing proven standards doesn’t mean one can not evolve. GMail has
|
|||
|
|
revolutionized the way we look at e-mail. Firefox and Chrome have changed the
|
|||
|
|
way we use the Web. Conversations will change the way we look at instant
|
|||
|
|
messaging. Being less obstrusive than a telephone call instant messaging has
|
|||
|
|
always played an importent role in modern society. Conversations will show that
|
|||
|
|
instant messaging can be fast, relialbe and private. Conversations will not
|
|||
|
|
force its security and privacey aspects upon the user. For those willing to use encryption
|
|||
|
|
Conversations will make it as uncomplicated as possible. However Conversations
|
|||
|
|
is aware that end-to-end encryption by the very principle isn’t trivial. Instead
|
|||
|
|
of trying the impossible and making encryption easier than comparing a
|
|||
|
|
fingerprint Conversations will try to educate the willing user and explain the
|
|||
|
|
necessary steps and the reasons behind them. Those unwilling to learn about
|
|||
|
|
encryption will still be protected by the design principals of Conversations.
|
|||
|
|
Conversations will simply not share or generate certain information for example
|
|||
|
|
by encouraging the use of federated servers. Conversations will always
|
|||
|
|
utilize the best available standards for encryption and media encoding instead
|
|||
|
|
of reinventing the wheel. However it isn’t afraid to break with behavior patterns
|
|||
|
|
that have been proven ineffctive.
