  • amphtml

    The AMP web component framework.

How is it a Google-controlled tech if you can spin up the same tech via your own cache and operate completely agnostically of Google? AMP is not Google-controlled and it's not a Google offering. It's open source.

  • TextSecure

    A private messenger for Android.

    • For encryption messages, I use signal. Signal has one big advantage. You can read the source code if you know how: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android

    • If you don't want to give off your phone number, just Use Element.io. It's open source too (There's a source code for the desktop client too). You don't have to trust a certain company either, anyone can open an Element server.
