If you could give 10 years of development time to up to 10 software projects, which would you choose?

  • You can choose up to 10 software projects.
  • Each project receives 10 years of development time as if all the programmers worked continuously for that duration, following their current working methods.
  • After choosing these 10 (or less) projects, everything else remains unchanged in the world, as if time has been frozen for 10 years.

Which projects do you choose?

I think you're right?

I also think they're on the right track (and a better track than apps like telegram - lots of negative social baggage). They really have gotten much farther than any other privacy focused apps.

I don't know, maybe I have a more optimistic view of the situation. It feel like they're knocking on the door of going fully mainstream.

Really? I feel like they have worsen their numbers after disabling sms support. I had a few people with whom I could chat on signal. They all moved away. I now have 0 ppl. I still have it installed but ya..

I moved away from signal and so did a number of people I knew. Because sms stopped working

Ya, looked into it and I'm wrong. I still think there is potential but...

Telegram is way bigger than I thought. Its bigger than snapchat. 😯
