This is a neat little idea, although I'm surprised you found the motivation to finish what seems like a niche need. Was this something that you wanted for yourself?
has been a old and off project for a few months. Would call it niche in terms of people who care about e2ee tools, but in general how insecure surveys are shouldn't be as common place as it is.
Love what you're doing!
Where can I donate to help the project forward?
Also, would you be open to having an article written in a pro-privacy & pro-FOSS blog about the applications you're building?
Currently we aren't taking donations, till we have some sort of transparency system in place.
Thanks for expressing your interest in a blog, could be interested.
I like you, your answer and your post. Have a cupcake. I also look forward to your updates. Thanks for sharing!
I completely respect your decision to hold off on donations until there's a transparent system in place. It's an admirable approach that really aligns with the spirit of FOSS.
As one of my side projects I manage a blog called escapebigtech.info, and we've been fortunate enough to gather around 4000 unique monthly readers. We focus on FOSS and privacy, and I'm launching a weekly feature starting next Friday (2023-10-13) to showcase valuable FOSS projects. I think Purplix would be an excellent candidate for this feature, and I'd be interested in covering it in about three weeks if you're open to it.
I'd love to be covered in your blog, feel free to add me on Matrix if you have any questions.
I got an internal server error.
Had some services not auto starting correctly, should be fixed
