We just became a monthly donor to Node.js Mobile on Open Collective. It's a great tool for building cross-platform decentralized applications like Quiet, and we admire the author's work on the Scuttlebutt app Manyverse. Into it? Donate! opencollective.com/nodejs-mobile via Open Collective

Where is peer-to-peer gitlab? 😉 (Is anyone using Radicle.xyz yet? Any other options?)

This is fascinating. $6M / year on verification SMS messages, almost half their infrastructure costs. signal.org/blog/signal-is…

Why are Madangopal and other p2p apps essential? Because free software which requires servers brings freedom only to people with servers: hobbyists & big orgs. Building for anyone else? Gotta ditch the servers. ffdweb.org/digest/free-so… Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web Daniel Riek

Messenger adds end-to-end encryption ~10 years after Signal proved it practical. Will Messenger be peer-to-peer, ~10 years after Quiet proves it practical?

We're building a free, open source, peer-to-peer messaging app and we're feeling really warm and fuzzy and happy about US antitrust law right now.

This article on freedom of association is great and captures a lot of the thinking, values, and vibe behind my work on Quiet. citizensandtech.org/2024/10/assemb…

Quiet is built on Tor and/because we love it! Today is the first day of Tor's year-end fundraising effort. Join the thousands of Tor supporters building an Internet powered by privacy. Make a donation today! Every gift will be matched up to $300,000. blog.torproject.org/2024-fundraise…

We'll be hanging out giving demos this morning at the The Tor Project table at RightsCon Taipei. And then we have a lightning talk in the virtual track on Wednesday afternoon US time. Come by / tune in!

We fixed a security issue in the last release where other applications or users running on your device had a theoretical way to access Quiet accounts. We aren't sure an attack was practical but it's fixed now. More info here! github.com/TryQuiet/quiet…

Also, a long overdue update: we're hard at work making Quiet work well on iOS by letting people add an optional server to their community. This is our lives these days!
