Extremely verbose while remaining overly vague about what it does and how it works.

Pushes me repeatedly to install it, even if I don't use it, in case I might need it.

Poor copywriting.

Cringy clipart.

No explanation for who this dude is, what his qualifications are, and why I should trust him? Check.

No assurance the app has been reviewed by any respected third parties.

Yeaaaaaah, no.

The long, rambling, incoherent "sell" that is pinned at the top here really doesn't help (why does HN allow people to do this? It's license to gish-galop.) He's extremely wordy in a way that really reminds me of confidence artists; lots of focus on vague storytelling style language, zero substance.

If you install this app you don't have any business being near confidential information. If the CI belongs to your employer, then have personal and organization devices, with the org device managed by their mobile device management system. Let them worry about it.

OP: go look at Signal and how they market themselves, but note that someone like Moxie Marlinspike gets to say "I made this" and be generally trusted.

You're just Some Dude.

With, as far as I can tell, zero experience in digital/network privacy, security, cryptography, etc.

Go make a name for yourself in security and privacy, then release an app like this. Or at least find people to collaborate with, evaluate your app, etc.

Far as I can tell the biggest problem with this app is that it probably makes whatever CI you upload to its cloud service or load into the app on your device, more vulnerable (for example, apps like Signal try to protect on-device information so data-scarfing tools can't grab it.)

Hello, I do not know any service page selling services that do not push you to use it, there is no popups, no ads, no cookies or trackers, I agree, a lot of things to improve, copywriting.., and yes I am just some dude, nobody, like the one you mention at his first post, not saying I am like him.., we all start with one step, here you can read some of my background, it is a public interview at the University I used to work, https://www.uoc.edu/portal/es/news/entrevistes/2009/roberto_... the link is in Spanish, you can use any translator to read about me, the dude.

I do understand how difficult it is to trust, I did not developed Zoldy if you mean that by telling about my experience about digital/network privacy, security, cryptography is zero, if it is important Zoldy has been developed in Spain, and even giving you 3rd parties names that tested the app you will be still in doubts, with reasons to, but no because of me or my knowledge.
