Love to talk you up about whatever -you're- excited about right now. And baking, outdoors, open source as public infrastructure, ethics in businessland, rights to privacy/health/education, and governance(whether in open source, startups, or communities)!
"The unsettling feeling that your device is spying on you is real — but the culprit isn't a secret microphone. It's the data broker industry," EFF’s @evacide tells CNET. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/features/no-your-iphone-isnt-listening-to-you-heres-whats-really-happening/
@eff @evacide when we were building our bootstrapped startup, a privacy-required, problematic habits tracking app, trying to figure out how to build quickly, without building everything in-house, while preserving privacy...it left us mindboggled at every turn.
Every rug we peeked under(nearly every 3rd party service for every step of our development) led to an inability to keep things private. It crippled development speed.
It felt stupid to call it privacy-first, as if it wasn't was novel.
Elk is a nimble Mastodon web client. You can login to your Mastodon account and use it to interact with the fediverse.
Expect some bugs and missing features here and there. Elk is Open Source and we're actively improving it as a community project. Join us and let's build it together!
If you'd like to report a bug, help us testing, give feedback, or contribute, reach out to us on GitHub and get involved.
To boost development, you can sponsor the Team through GitHub Sponsors. We hope you enjoy Elk!
