Exodify — Reveal creepy trackers spying on you 👀, hidden in apps

“ Hello, my name is Valère, I am a French entrepreneur concerned about user privacy and how much users know about data harvesting, user tracking and its consequences. Thanks to the incredible work of the Exodus Privacy team (https://ift.tt/2zzyVhH), a French non-profit that discloses trackers in Android environment applications, I have been able to create this cool little browser extension that shows within the Google Play web interface the number of trackers found in one app and allow to compare with similar apps. And in the recent light of the Cambridge Analytica data harvesting story, I thought that this tool might be of interest to the PH community. Are you ready to see how deep the rabbit hole goes? ”

Air Traffic Control — A simple action-based router for Redux.

“ The Airplane Mode team has been hard at work building tools to help travelers pick the best flights. Along the way, they’ve been creating tools for the developer community as well. The first is Air Traffic Control. It’s the action-based router for Redux, which they have in production usage on the flyairplanemode.com React / Redux app. They gave a talk last week at Appcues, and dove into their web architecture, the Air Traffic Control router, and their motivations for creating it. I found it impressive, and I think the rest of the community will as well. 👩‍✈️🛩✈️👨‍✈️ ” – Jackson Noel Discussion | Link

The DJ — A Black Mirror inspired app that rewards long relationships.

“ Hey PH! With the DJ I wanted to see how far I could push the concept of expiring relationships by applying them to conversations specifically (I'm also the guy that made the other black mirror app: rateME). Users are rewarded for taking their time to talk to their match as the longer they talk to them, the more that is revealed to them. I use AI to help the DJ in making decisions based on how the conversation goes. All messages are encrypted and analyzed client side as far as privacy and security goes. It's in a fully functional beta release as I'd like for the DJ to learn by example. Let me know what you think! ” – Stephen H. Discussion | Link
