  • Platform

    Qbix Platform for powering Social Apps (http://qbix.com/platform) (by Qbix)

  • Author here. Happy to see this went viral.

    I have spent 12 years and 1 million dollars to date (no exaggeration) on a project to hopefully help people get a viable alternative to the Big Tech, and have choice where to host the infrastructure they typically expect from Facebook, Twitter, Telegram etc. It’s open source and it’s the only way you can make it expensive to backdoor everyone in bulk, or shut down a platform altogether:

    If you spend an afternoon playing with, I think you’ll feel like you’re discovering superpowers (like Batman or Iron man or something). It’s free to use. We’re launching https://qbix.com/ecosystem soon, with courses and certification so anyone who wants to learn, click on my profile and email me.

    And if you like what we do and you’re thinking of supporting us with $100 or more, feel free to do it here… November 5 we are launching, until then you can voluntarily put a “no-obligation” contribution: https://wefunder.com/Qbix

  • SC4

    SC4 - Strong Crypto for Mere Mortals (by Spark-Innovations)

  • Seven 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.
