Although I have to say the privacy implications are quite concerning before I'd consider using it personally or for a team.
You mention at rest encryption, how does that work with indexing the data and making search work?
Will you offer retention policies on data?
Any plans to include direct messaging platforms (if they offer api's)?
W.r.t. retention policies, information is immediately deleted upon account deletion. We also delete all data after account inactivity for 2 months.
Definitely exploring messaging platforms, interestingly enough iMessage (despite not being available via API) can be indexed locally on Macs. Just not something that's on the top of our backlog. Thanks for your thoughts!
This means you store most data in plaintext in the index? Enough to reconstruct most of the content?
