Bruce Schneier: WTF: Signal Adds Cryptocurrency Support

• TextSecure

  985 24,864 9.9 Java

  A private messenger for Android.

  

Schneier's criticism is a pretty big deal, especially since his prior praise for Signal is even featured on the signal.org homepage.

• Synapse

  367 11,720 9.8 Python

  Discontinued Synapse: Matrix homeserver written in Python/Twisted.

  

Matrix? It's mainly developed by the folks over at element but has the nice advantage that you can selfhost a server or create your own as long as you follow the Matrix protocol.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• session-desktop

  301 1,397 0.0 TypeScript

  Session Desktop - Onion routing based messenger

  

Session has a really good app compared to Signal (which doesn't take much). There's also Status, which is decentralized (p2p) and connected to Ethereum.

• jami-cli

  136 15 0.0 Rust

  Jami client for terminal

Give me 2-3 weeks to properly research alternatives. So far Jami is looking best. Totally Libre and free-as-in-beer, and fully decentralized -- no servers!

• Signal-Server

  200 8,817 9.8 Java

  Server supporting the Signal Private Messenger applications on Android, Desktop, and iOS

  

• Element

  614 10,602 9.9 TypeScript

  A glossy Matrix collaboration client for the web.

• status-mobile

  90 3,818 9.9 Clojure

  a free (libre) open source, mobile OS for Ethereum

  

Session has a really good app compared to Signal (which doesn't take much). There's also Status, which is decentralized (p2p) and connected to Ethereum.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• skynet-webportal

  64 0 9.6 JavaScript

  Discontinued A webapp that makes Skynet accessible to web browsers.

  

I highly recommend reading that audit. The way they configure their servers isn’t the traditional way. It’s similar to how https://siasky.net/ operates.

• Prosody IM

  23 587 9.4 Lua

  IMPORTANT: due to a drive failure, as of 13-Mar-2021, the Mercurial repository had to be re-mirrored, which changed every commit SHA. The old SHAs and trees are backed up in the vault branches. Please migrate to the new branches as soon as you can.

I personally went with conversations.im (on Android) with my own prosody.im server months ago.

• Conversations

  Conversations is an open source XMPP/Jabber client for Android
