To me, the internet is a place to advertise my inventions, not look at memes.
I dont like memes, they waste brain space and time. How can I prevent the home feed from being flooded by them? I block one, and 5 more show up.

https://github.com/bedrock-addons Went from 500k downloads and no competitors to a flooded market of clones and my app bsing banned after a fork copyrighted us for "trade dress infringement" despite my app coming first.
https://github.com/du82/client Chinese company sold our code and the company they sold to forced me to shut down so their fork could be the only one around.
https://github.com/du82/privacy-spreadsheet Other groups copied my data and I got nothing in return for my 150+ hours of work

Our frontend is open, its just HTML and CSS, nothing proprietary client side, which would piss him off.

To answer your questions in order:
- We have our own index, its not a shitshow of mixed results like Searx tends to be. this also means that we're not chasing breaking changes of some larger engine when they decide they dont want us, like Twitter did to Nitter, and Bing did to Searx.
- We don't know how to monetize. Ads are the only option that we know of, donations do not work at all, as proven by my previous projects.
- We've already got spam prevention and removal measures in place, but I won't discuss them.
- We don't know how to scale it since its centralized by design and the frontend and backend are tightly integrated, largely because the frontend is largely generated on the fly by the backend. Maybe host a copy for each region we're aiming to acquire users from?
- Our engine already understands 5 languages, and we hope to expand to CJK languages soon.

For anyone who asks, we will not open source, but we may offer a licensed self-hosted version for a small yearly fee (maybe $10-20).
I've open sourced everything I've made in the past, and all that's happened is someone with more money picks up my project, outcompetes me, and drives me out of business. I dont want our hard work going to waste.

I've been working hard on the privacy spreadsheet, which has been in development for over 150 hours now. Its been updated, and now includes more messaging apps and more data, with a better format. I'm still working on the sidebar issue, if anyone knows how to fix it, here's the GitHub repo: [https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com](https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com) I'm aiming to make this the most valuable resource for privacy, beyond messaging as well, but one thing at a time.

Mailing lists are for old fat unix guys. Who uses email anymore? I can't even remember the last time I opened my inbox, maybe a month ago for a 2FA code?
I'll stick with GitHub because its what I know. If you don't want to use GitHub, then you can still view the spreadsheet, just dont click the GitHub or Datasets links in the fop left.

Status got a recommendation purely because it has proven itself to be resiliant to subpoenas and the cryptography is implemented well.
Nothing is sponsored, and no matter who I work for in the future, it won't impact the results. It's open source on GitHub, and I'm looking for contributors to decentralize control of the spreadsheets.

I have worked for Status in the past, but that has not impacted the review of any apps. The spreadsheet has been reviewed thoroughly by others in the privacy space before I published it, and I encourage everyone to take a look and report any inaccuracies.
The criteria is objective on purpose. Everything on the spreadsheet can be verified for accuracy.

You're not required to contribute. I went with GH because it doesn't require creating a new account on an obscure Git provider, which would kill the chwnces of anyone contributing.
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](https://privacyspreadsheet.com) into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It's all open source too on [GitHub](https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com). 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.
