Part 2 of 3 in Series: lists will continually be updated periodically. This is a continuation of my list, “Recommended Software for the Average Joe and Jane”, but with software I believe needs a bit more technical know-how. Criteria I look for universally for my lists are as follows: — Open source code: publicly audited — Privacy-focus: minimal data collection, encryption by default — Security-focus: 2FA available, encryption by default — Zero Knowledge end-to-end encryption (E2EE) when appropriate — Cross-platform or progressive web apps (PWAs) + cloud backup/sync — Freemium subscription model, so basic features are always available for free — Oligarchy / Big Tech alternative — Absence of “dark” or deceptive patterns Criteria specifically for this list: — Small organizations and up-and-coming software are welcome on this list — User experience may require more configuration, less convenience, and more tech literacy — Features available can replace or nearly replace Big Tech’s popular apps
