It seems to me that we could just fork the app and add in any ETE encryption we want. I get that everyone is annoyed at the Telegram people, but there are a bunch of open clients and the encryption we'd want must be independent of the server. For instance I could paste in PGP encrypted messages. Maybe there is some technical reason this wouldn't work?
I think people would rather develop their own app from the ground up instead of squeaking into another app / network when all the users must download the custom app anyway.
