I’ve been working hard on the privacy spreadsheet, which has been in development for over 150 hours now. Its been updated, and now includes more messaging apps and more data, with a better format. I’m still working on the sidebar issue, if anyone knows how to fix it, here’s the GitHub repo: https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com
I’m aiming to make this the most valuable resource for privacy, beyond messaging as well, but one thing at a time.
There is a typo: Three O’s in “Outlook”. Also, please add a row for services that include padded encrypted messages. Love this project!
Edit before I get shot down: I am aware the repo says “If you see errors or would like something added, please submit an issue here.”, but Github is not private and therefor I will not create an account. Apologies for the inconvenience.
https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com/blob/main/datasets/Privacy Spreadsheet.xlsx ? Is this built on Microsoft Office using some kind of export feature?
Still very biased towards Matrix Vs XMPP when it comes to encryption. If it is “provider specific” for XMPP it should be also “provider specific” for Matrix… or rather in 99% of the cases it is not “provider specific” at all but available and enabled by default for both. That there are a few non-compliant server+client combinations is just a result of an open-source and decentralized network.
Edit: same for the “what apps can hand over to police section”, which is also highly provider specific as it doesn’t really concern the “app” but rather the server (which can be self-hosted).
Please just focus on messaging apps. That’s a big enough task.
do one thing and do it well
Here is a good overview. You could compare this with your findings:
This one is better feature wise. When you scroll horizontally, then first column is always visible. Additionally one can filter.
