This looks great. Genuine question: does app size matter as much from a security perspective? What about govt coercion, as we're hearing rumours in the news about Proton - they're saying no matter how safe your app, if the govt can cooerce you to give them data, all the security in the world will be of no use?

Not sure 100% the implications of levels of security judging purely from app size alone, it can be quite subjective. Just because an app is smaller in size doesn't mean it is less vulnerable, but more importantly just because an app is larger in size certainly doesn't imply there are more security measures in place. Our whole take is just minimalism and efficiency, which ultimately affects the end user. Something taking 5 seconds more to load could be the difference of someone switching to a less private app, simply due to convenience and UX. With privacy as our foundation, UX now becomes one of the biggest focuses. We would really recommend checking out the Vector Privacy Policy if you're interested to learn more in detail, it is both on our website and Gitbook. To summarize, we don't collect nor have access to anyone's data simply by architectural design. How can we give data that we ourselves don't possess or have access to? ;)
