       | What I especially love is that I'm able to send links (over an
       | E2EE channel like Signal) with people who aren't especially
       | computer savvy and it all works out quite seamlessly with them.
       | No accounts needed, etc...

         | I guess XWiki Labs is just a cool, made up name.

         | license is.
