For anyone that doesn't have the time or interest to read the rest of this article, the short version is that the CryptPad team has received a 50000 Euro grant from NLnet foundation. This funding will be directed towards the design and development of team-centric features in a project we're calling CryptPad Teams.

The beginning of the year has been busy. We traveled to Barcelona to officially receive our NGI Award. Spreadsheet functionality was officially released in CryptPad and our funding has been progressing since our last status in November.
Our mission is to make privacy-enhancing technologies accessible to people from all over the world. We get a lot of attention for the technology that we build, but that technology may be of limited use to those who can't understand what it's doing.
There's a fairly long list of people who have helped make CryptPad what it is today, but on a day-to-day basis its improvements are driven primarily by myself and a colleague who would rather push code than take credit for his work.
