Eight years ago I took a whack at building a fully open source end-to-end encryption system. This is what I came up with at the time:

https://github.com/Spark-Innovations/SC4

It's a bit dated at this point. It doesn't have a ratchet. I did implement one, but never got around to integrating it:

https://github.com/rongarret/ratchet-js

I also had an MVP iOS app which was never launched.

The reason I gave up on the project was that no one seemed to be interested. I spent several years looking for customers and collaborators and basically found nothing. The conclusion I came to is that a lot of people complain about the impending end of E2EE but very few people are actually willing to do anything about it except whine.

I agree that people generally don't concern themselves too much with how their information is protected. Most people simply assume that it already is or that they can't really do much about it without giving up a lot of convenience. However, I have noticed in specific cases, people do pay attention. In my case, I'm protecting contact information while sharing with others and most people think it is a great use of e2ee.
