I've seen all the promo videos, and some questions remain unanswered:

1. What's Send encrypting with? It doesn't show anything related to setting up a password during the video.

2. What's Notes syncing with?

3. What's Voice using to analyze the voice commands?




>What's Send encrypting with? It doesn't show anything related to setting up a password during the video.

Likely a random string that is added to the download URL as Fragment (the part after # that doesn't get sent to the server).

The download URLs look like this:

https://send.firefox.com/download/50d43ef5f3/#GqCJXOUnCyxYGc...

I agree that there is very little explanation beyond "look at this cool thing".


2. Notes source code is at https://github.com/mozilla/notes, the panel.js source[1] is the one that saves and load content. It uses the Storage API from Web Extensions[2], but it uses it only to save/load locally. It is not currently sending any data anywhere. So, sync is not enabled. If you click the sync button, you're greeted with a message[3] saying it is not implemented yet (they do count it and metrify it, probably gauging interest).
