  • OnionShare

    Securely and anonymously share files, host websites, and chat with friends using the Tor network

    • This. Cwtch is extremely promising. Another great option is https://briarproject.org/ and even https://onionshare.org/ that provides chat feature. Finally, if you want the most secure messaging that's possible, cost no object, see https://github.com/maqp/tfc (full disclosure, it's my work).

  • tfc

    Tinfoil Chat - Onion-routed, endpoint secure messaging system

    • This. Cwtch is extremely promising. Another great option is https://briarproject.org/ and even https://onionshare.org/ that provides chat feature. Finally, if you want the most secure messaging that's possible, cost no object, see https://github.com/maqp/tfc (full disclosure, it's my work).

  • FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition

    FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition is a no-nonsense implementation of FizzBuzz made by serious businessmen for serious business purposes.

    • UX-wise, Signal gets it. Signal is playful and agile (this also matters for security), Element is the EnterpriseFizzBuzz java-mine of messaging. It will get there, eventually, but for now, it's making the programmer inside me scream in agony.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
