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.

The first row and first column should stay visible when you scroll with such a dense graph.

This is a really cool idea, will share it around!

Maybe add the website on the GitHub-Repo as the projetc-site URL, makes it easier to navigate.

Didn't even include the default messages app that most Android phones ship with 🤦

I don’t see Wire listed. Do you plan to add it?

I don't think wire is the best privacy wise

Very few dont require a phone numbers, so Wire is def in the top 10

Love your commitment but I already knew SimpleX is the best. 🙃
