Notes

Abstract

CryptPad is a collaborative office-suite that is end-to-end encrypted and fully open-source. The project has been operating for over 10 years and is used to collaborate on millions of documents each month on the flagship instance cryptpad.fr. In this talk we will introduce the product and its suite of applications. We will highlight some recent achievements from the last year including

  • an updated look and feel;
  • a re-write of our server;
  • improvements to office applications;
  • and a new CryptPad embedding API.

We will also recap the financial situation of the project, and our plans looking ahead towards sustainability.
