Riot? Can we talk about the edgy names? Think about how much differently history might have been if Napster was named Library of Alexandria. "According to Galen, any books found on ships that came into port were taken to the library, and were listed as 'books of the ships'. Official scribes then copied these writings; the originals were kept in the library, and the copies delivered to the owners." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria Sounds like Napster, yes? Think about how much harder it would be for Congress to pass laws shutting down the digital equivalent to a library sharing the world's music. But no. We get names like Riot, and Felony (https://github.com/henryboldi/felony). Congress sends you a "Thank you" every time you put an edgy name on something disruptive.

Yes, Open Whisper Systems. Signal is open source and meant to be accessible. There's also ToxCore - https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore - which I have no experience with and I've heard sometimes the community is a little trollish, but it has similar goals. Remember, any privacy project could use this help. All of them want to be accessible to the end user, including old-school tools like GnuPG. Often times these security engineers aren't very UX oriented and we like our command lines. Build good interfaces on top of them. Although a shitty name, Felony looked good for this: https://github.com/henryboldi/felony Someone else asked a similar question in another Ask HN earlier, and I replied with this: > Welcome to the fray. > First: decide what your skills are, and where you can contribute. > Try the Tor Project first: > https://www.torpro

The members page of the github page looks like some sort of criminal record https://github.com/henryboldi/felony/network/members

Also, here's the link to the README file. (Nicely done!) https://github.com/henryboldi/felony/blob/master/README.md
