End-to-end encrypted Google Docs


Hello HN,

We are building a prototype for a Google docs clone that is end-to-end encrypted. The idea is that we as the service provider does not get to see the content. All other features (like search, live collaboration, grammar suggestions etc.) will work exactly like Google docs.

Our hypothesis is that such a service would be compelling to companies that are concerned that Google may share their data with third parties like advertisers or governments.

We are currently doing market research to validate the demand for such a service. Is anyone here aware of such a need within their organization? If so, would love to pick your brain to help shape our product.

Thank you!

Google's paid alternative does not share your data with advertisers.
