    Session Desktop - Onion routing based messenger

    • I'd recommend Session messenger, both for privacy and ease of use. You generate your ID within the app (open source, Win/Linux/Android/iOS) and it doesn't require a phone number or email. Exchange your IDs with your parents via sms/email/whatever and add each other in the app as contacts.

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
