A Personal Note
2020 has shown us how vital secure, reliable internet access is for society. When the pandemic forced millions to work and study from home, the internet became the primary lifeline for human connection and productivity. This unprecedented situation validated our mission of providing accessible, secure communication tools for everyone.
The decision to transition to Flutter wasn't just about technical improvement – it was about making our service more accessible and reliable when people needed it most. During a time when video calls replaced meetings and remote work became the norm, our service had to evolve to meet these new demands.
This year reminded me of something essential about technology: its true value lies not in its complexity, but in how it helps people maintain their connections and productivity while protecting their privacy. As millions adapted to remote work and distance learning, we saw our service become an essential tool for maintaining both security and connectivity.
To our users who trusted us during this challenging year: thank you for allowing us to help keep you connected and secure. To our team who worked tirelessly through the Flutter transition while adapting to remote work: your dedication has been inspiring.
As we look toward 2021, we remain committed to our core mission of protecting privacy and enabling secure communication, now more important than ever in our increasingly digital world.
