• Ask HN: Modern Day Equivalent to HyperCard?

  I think you and your kid would have fun designing a Choose Your Own Adventure game in Twine. https://twinery.org/ FWIW, there are a bunch of simple modern GUI builders, including GUI builders for the web, but none of them are popular, due to the sweet spot of supply and demand that Hypercard hit. When Hypercard launched, it came with every Mac, it was free, and there was nothing else like it available on... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• About Text based games,basically

  There's ChoiceScript by Choice Of Games. It's more along the lines of Choose Your Own Adventure. If you're hoping to make something with a fair amount of random events, you might want to check out Twine. Source: 6 months ago

• A Practical Guide For Safety And Reporting Crimes For Our Community

  A question I often get is "Well are my text messages safe" The short answer is... Maybe? Depends on what type of phone you use, your carrier, and a bunch of other factors. One way to avoid this is to use an end-to-end encrypted text service like Signal if that is a concern of yours. VERY IMPORTANT NOTES: Telegram and WhatsApp are not secure. The way to think of this security is that if is retained by a server... Source: 6 months ago

• Signal Public Username Testing (Staging Environment)

  The linked page is on signalusers.org, but Signal's regular home site is https://signal.org/. I'm looking all over signal.org for some link from there to signalusers.org, as that would make me more relaxed about the authenticity of the latter -- i.e., that it really is run by the same people who run signal.org. Yes, maybe I'm being paranoid. But we're talking about an app whose whole purpose is secure... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Breaking Global Communication Barriers

  WhatsApp and Signal: Of course I’m going to conclude with the point to point encrypted communication apps Signal and WhatsApp. Most of our clients around the world communicate in these apps more than they make phone calls or send emails.
