I've been working really hard to research and rank messaging apps by their privacy. The more green boxes the better.

I plan to turn PrivacySpreadsheet.com into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It's all open source too on GitHub.

Not trying to advertise, I just put a lot of time into researching all this, and I want to share it since I think others could benefit.

And gave a constant reminder to people that something better was right there.

And put things in one place.

You're letting perfect be the enemy of good. At least with SMS support I could get people to switch to "this new texting app", and we'd then have a proper Signal encrypted chat. And when they texted someone else, Signal would append the "you could have encryption too" signature, generating a conversation about it.

The people who moved off of Signal went back to SMS entirely. How is that better?
