Naughty List — Tech companies that won't delete your information

“ Occasionally I go through my password manager to do a cleanup of accounts I no longer use. For the simple reason that if any one of those services get hacked, I don't want to lose credit card- or personal information, and have that end up in the hands of somebody who shouldn't have it. In trying to delete a few accounts, some services outright refused to delete my info, without giving any reason. Therefore, I decided to create a naughty list of tech companies who don't respect your right to your own information. There are already 283 sites in the list, but let me know if there are any other services you think I should add. ”

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
