Zulip 12.0: Organized chat for distributed teams
(blog.zulip.com)
I wish Zulip was fully E2EE
It doesn't make any sense for large group chats: there's just no secrecy to them. And that will cut you off from desired capabilities like server-side search. Not that I think that Zulip makes any sense in general when there are federated protocols that work and scale as well, but that's another discussion.
I don't see how E2EE would be that important for Zulip. It is mostly used in Teams who work together on a project or for a specific business/company. They all know each other (or at least part of the Teams) and share the information. And it is (typically) run on dedicated hardware owned by the Team.
So i personally see no benefit for E2EE in these kind of contexts.
Zulip now encrypts your push notifications end to end from the Zulip server to your mobile device.
AAHAHA they really don't understand what end to end means, huh?
It's still E2E, but the sender is Zulip and the potentially hostile service provider is google/apple. E2E isn't limited to person to person chats
It would be nice if Zulip chats were E2E, but I imagine that would be a large undertaking
I didn't know TLS was e2e now. \ss
