In 2019 we finished a four-year research project that had covered the majority of CryptPad's development costs. We had some worries about how we would continue to fund our team, but we were fortunate enough to meet and form a good relationship with members of Europe's Next Generation Internet Initiative.
CryptPad and the team have received some attention recently through various channels: a Reddit AMA thread, podcast, presentation, and blog interview.
On December 8th, 2020 a malfunction in the water-cooling system at a data-center in Roubaix, France caused an unrecoverable error in the physical machine which hosts CryptPad.fr.
We have not been very active on the CryptPad blog lately, however, we have been very active making new releases to CryptPad.
It was four years ago when I first started working full-time on CryptPad. At that point fewer than 10 people used the service on a weekly basis.
