Appreciate the response. I understand and agree with your points but we are starting out with a centralized website because we think it is more user friendly and simpler to start with.
This is undoubtedly true. Given that Bisq is an outlier, and every other peer to peer platform is based on a website, I don't think there is anything wrong with you also using a website.
@o_e_l_e_o What would be your main concern about using a website instead of an application?
It's not just that it's an application, but that it runs peer to peer by connecting directly with other users and not through a centralized server. It is better in terms of privacy since there is no centralized website which can log IP addresses, leave tracking cookies, record individual activity, and so on, although much of this can be mitigated by using Tor.
