Yep, getting more users wasn't really the goal of this blog post. Mainly it was intended as a response to the many support requests we get asking about what kind of encryption is utilized in Supernotes, which frequently lacked a clear understanding of different types of encryption and what that means. That is why I tried to structure it as a helpful tutorial that anyone can read to hopefully gain a better understand of encryption basics.

Our current set of priorities means that E2EE is not going to be at the top of the list for the foreseeable future, so we want existing and potential users to be aware of that (and our rationale behind it). We prefer to have users that understand and align with our vision rather than trying to convince/trick people with different priorities to use Supernotes.
