Thanks for your interest in Semaphor! FYI, Today is an early access preview. iOS, Android, Linux, and Windows coming very soon; we built mobile first and are running all of the above internally. Cheers!
Semaphoric patterns are used in the application as a more visually appealing means of peer key verification, device provisioning, etc. than say, QR codes.
After watching the video on the page "What is Semaphore?", I still have no idea what it is.
It seems like it's Google Drive/Dropbox with end to end encryption, but part of the copy is about how people "used to work with files and folders", implying that they no longer do. If there are no files it can't be Dropbox, can it?
(I didn't submit this, but thanks to the OP! This is an early access preview... General availability is very soon)
10 years ago SpiderOak made a zero-knowledge cloud storage product which is now called SpiderOakONE and is comparable to Dropbox. Semaphor is a new app, analogous to Slack or HipChat, with end-to-end encryption, and team/enterprise focused.
It's written in Golang with the client side (local) presentation layer in React. Source and a white paper are published. Cheers!
