ahomeDeskon Realtime messaging with a simple link. No sign up required

I think the CEO is available there for a chat. You could ask him :) To me this could be a game changer if done right.

ahomeDeskon Our attempt to disrupt messaging

Well we guess, when it comes to small companies that are trying to make their way people are more demanding ? Do you ask WhatsApp and co source code ? We have absolut no interest in user data. Thats why you can use Dikalo without even signing up. The messages never reach our servers in clear and we dont even save users emails in clear. We will have security audits. For sure. We are just getting started. Just give us a try :)

We are announcing our product. Just like any one else would do. The product will be ready december 5th.

We are eagier to get feedback about the idea yes. Our goal is not to get trafic. But to build something people want to use. And it starts with getting feedback like lots of people have been giving us here.

We also explain why we think anyone else is doind it wrong.

Not every word comes from English. Dikalo has a meaning in other languages.

It s a big world you know.

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

:) I think once you use the service you will get used to the name :)

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

Exactly. This is the main idea behind Dikalo. Your private stuff belong to you. We are only interested in sending your messages. This is why you can use Dikalo without even siging up

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

We saved the encrypted version to enable password reset. When you reset your password we send an activation code to the email you signed up with (We don’t save that email ). To reset your password you need to enter that email. We encrypt the value on the client and compare it we the value we have on our server. To make sure it s really you But at any time we don’t have user emails stored on our system. So If someone gets access she will never see emails in clear text. And most importantly we will never send users marketing emails. Only registration and password reset emails. We want to know as little as possible about our users.

Where the Dikalo name comes from is in our FAQ. I dont know we might be biased but we like Dikalo better than WhatsApp :) :)

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

We will offer alternative domains. dikalo.net and dikalo.co beeing one of those. Also the landing page will have more infos soon.

With messaging done right we mean Messaging without you giving up any private infos. No email, no phone nr, no sign up required. In fact you can use Dikalo without ever opening an account.

The reason we started with dklo.co is because we wanted people to type as little as possible.

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

In clear we dont save user emails in clear on our servers. Nor do we log them. We want to as little as possible about our users.

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

We will reformulate that. What we mean is that we never save user emails on our servers in clear text. The emails are encrypted on the clients before being sent to us. We want to know as little as possible about our users.

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

This is strange. https://www.dklo.co/ should work just fine. No once has complained till now.

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

True there is a risc of being banned at some places. But to it is more important to offer a service that works the right way. We will find a way to be available every where.

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

We are working hard to make it available soon. Stay tuned.

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

Fixed.

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

Yes. Works something like that. Thanks a lot :) :)

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

Thx :). Whats wrong with the name ? :)

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

We dont save any personal data on our servers. So even if they come to us we simply have nothing to give. Plus there is no way to map a given message to a given user

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

Agreed. We will clear all this our before December 5th. We are very serious about what we are doing.

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

Should be back up now.

ahomeDeskon Messaging done right. No phone number. No Email. No sign up required

Thx. We will fix all the typos before going live.

ahomeDeskon Native mobile apps using Java(GWT)

Thx. We will correct the typo on the page asap. And yes we put Java on top of Titanium Javascript API. So if you are targeting Android only not necessary the best choice. This is more for people that are targeting multiple platforms from one source using the Java language.

ahomeDeskon A Desktop for the web

Can you share your screen resolution ? We will definetly improve the login screen in the next release. We hope that did nt prevent you from entering the desktop though. Cheers :)

ahomeDeskon A Desktop for the web

Thx. Glad you like. The best is to come yet :)

Yes it s implemented with Ext JS. But not in JavaScript. We wanted to write Ext JS at scale so we wrote a GWT wrapper for Ext JS (http://opensource.ahome-it.com/#ext4j). It s free and opensource and might help you aswell.

Agreed with that bootstrap button :) We will come up with something better in the next iteration. Thx and keep the feedback coming :)

Cheers
