What Hacker News says
4 sourcesNo, it doesn't actually use the OTR protocol. The application actually follows this flow: https://github.com/crodjer/qotr/blob/master/FLOW.rst#how-qot...
I understand the name is confusing. I was a long way into naming everything about the project QOTR before I realised that OTR is best used if the protocol is implemented, instead of taking it as general concept.
I plan to re-write the application (at least the front-end, which does all the encryption stuff) based on the reviews and if people think that it is actually an idea worth pursuing.
In Show HN: QOTR – Go off-the record, quickly`AES-CBC` is used if no mode is specified (none currently specified: see [1]). Relevant forge documentation. [2]
Currently the README file states that `AES-CES` is being used.

In Show HN: QOTR – Go off-the record, quicklyI am confused by your use of "OTR". Based on [1] this doesn't seem to be an OTR implementation as those concerned with encryption might define "off-the-record", correct? I think the term may be confusing.
