Jack Dorsey put 1.3 million dollars into it. Vitalik Buterin gave it 128 ETH. You have never heard of it. It is called SimpleX. It is a messenger. It does not need a phone number. It does not need an email. It does not need a username. It does not need a user ID. Not a hidden ID. Not a hashed ID. None at all. Signal needs your phone number. WhatsApp needs your phone number. Telegram needs your phone number. Every messenger you have ever called "private" knows the one thing your bank, your stalker, and your country use to identify you. SimpleX knows nothing. It was built by Evgeny Poberezkin, a London-based engineer. Before this he wrote Ajv, the JavaScript validator that runs in 300 million downloads every month. He could have built anything. He built the messenger with no users on the server. Here is the trick. Every other messenger gives you an identity. SimpleX gives you a connection. Each chat is its own one-way pipe. The server never sees who you are talking to. It does not even know you exist as a user. 11,327 stars. AGPL-3.0. Version 7.0 beta released two days ago. iOS. Android. macOS. Windows. Linux. Free. A 4-person team in London is the last line of defense between your conversations and every government, every advertiser, and every database breach. The most private messenger ever built is the one you have never heard of. (Link in the comments)
