The information on, say, exactly what makes your password store secure *can* however be made available. Same with what the envelope icon does. It doesn't have to be "in your face", though. Those two aren't mutually exclusive.

"Here's a list of the standards our software implements."

"Here's a technical whitepaper on exactly how our cryptography works."

Those who care can read, and encourage those who just want to solve a problem to use the good stuff. 🙂

@mkj @dalias @thibaultamartin 100% more information is better. The original idea, as I see it, is that utility for end user has to come first. Without it, all the implementation details are pointless. After all: Tech without "target customer" is just "eh"

@MichalBryxi As far as that goes, we are in agreement! It shouldn't be necessary to wade through details to figure out what something does.

(And similarly, it shouldn't be necessary to wade through marketing goobledygook to figure out what something does, either. Far too many companies are so into their own products and services that they completely fail at concisely conveying the actual value proposition to someone not already in the know. Big fail.)

@mkj @MichalBryxi @thibaultamartin Usually the value proposition is either nothing at all or something that would make both the buyer and seller look very bad if stated in a non obfuscated manner.
