looks interesting.
personal opinion on your video? i think it looks (and sounds) childish, unprofessional and cheap. thats not something i would aim for having a company like yours. really, no offense here. just wanted to give some input. good luck.
@misterparker Great question. Actually, you can't accidentally send someone an encrypted email that they won't be able to view. If you try to encrypt mail to someone who has not joined Inky yet, you'll see a prompt to invite them. Once they're in the system, you'll be able to encrypt mail to them. This and other questions are answered in our FAQ: http://inky.com/faq
(For the technical explanation of why it works this way and how keys are issued and stored, please see our white paper at https://download.inky.com/inky-s...)
@mothore@erictwillis Yes, for the automatic and convenient key management, both parties do need to use Inky. However, it is all based on S/MIME, and we offer the ability to export your certs for use in other clients.
I'm one of Inky's core developers. Thanks for the support Product Hunt! We're really excited to bring end-to-end encryption for email to everyone, on any device, without complicated setup. Digital signatures are also built-in, so your friends can trust mail is from you and avoid phishing scams. This new version also features many new usability enhancements and rock solid push notification support for new mail.
We've posted a detailed white paper about the cryptography details if you're into that: http://inky.com/secure (link to PDF is down the page a little)
