I made a spreadsheet that ranks messengers for privacy (privacyspreadsheet.com)

I've been working really hard to research and rank messaging apps by their privacy. The more green boxes the better.

I plan to turn PrivacySpreadsheet.com into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It's all open source too on GitHub.

Not trying to advertise, I just put a lot of time into researching all this, and I want to share it since I think others could benefit.

Nice work so far! It's a big task, really.

Smart idea hosting on git. Gives it a chance to be maintained and have a history.

Any way to download as a csv/excel file? (I can just copy/paste from the web, but that's imperfect)

I'm working on it, and an Excel file will be available later today under the "datasets" directory in GitHub
