Hi, curious about the "not perfect" part (I work at Wire) - what stuff would be prio for you to improve?

wire.com/download for the free/personal use downloadables

We have the beginnings of an API - Wire.com/developer

Crypto - Wire’s Proteus is an independent implementation of Axolotl that was later renamed to Signal Protocol. There’s also an external audit available - info and links from Wire.com/privacy.

As to business model, Wire is VC funded by Iconical.com /Janus Friis (co-founder of Skype) and announced the first paid product in July - wire.com/teams.

Full disclosure: I work at Wire.

It’s a requirement many organizations have - government institutions are a good example. Some might want to not leak any data to the outside world, run it only for internal use, etc.

If security is of importance then try wire.com (I'm part of the team so biased).

One of the details we haven't quite settled on yet. Safe to assume that once all of the server code is open then at first you'd need to roll your own apps pointing to the right server.

Since a lot of the interest for self hosting comes from companies then a nicely packaged version is somewhere in the future.

Care to name one?

The post states that the app level review is coming. As a comparison afaik Signal only has protocol review available, no implementation review.
