Scoring
We will structure projects by Privacy scoring. This will help people to not be scammed & double-check privacy promises behind every project. At the same time it will force organisations to deliver reliable privacy tech.
More on scoring - in the docs
Front-end
We already sketched new version of the front-end with reach filters, granular categories & so on. Will ship it alongside the back-end development & updates.
Our aim is to match specific use-cases like “I want to securely store my files”, “I want to privately send ETH” etc.
News & Jobs sync
In the future Project profile will be in-sync with our Jobs & News landings.
Meaning that 1 project will have constant update: vacancies, latest news & so on.
Keep calm & build solid privacy-enhancing tech. Together.
