Hey there, excuse the spam ;) Hopefully this is relevant enough.

The recent NSA scandals have done a lot to promote a public interest in
improving privacy software. This has resulted in a litany of "me too!"
style encrypted IM apps. I'm trying to build something better: a
"Cryptosphere"

It's written in Ruby and JS, and I need your help:

http://cryptosphere.org/

I'm working on an end-to-end security model for the web, where content goes
in one end (via git), is encrypted end-to-end from the publisher's computer
to the end user's computer, and comes out the other side in the form of
cryptographically authenticated HTML5/JS applications.

These applications are stored on a P2P grid in a decentralized manner and
fully encrypted/authenticated manner, preventing the compromise of a
hosting provider from manipulating the content. This sort of thing happened
just recently when Freedom Hosting was compromised, exposing large numbers
of users of the Tor anonymizing network to malware:
