Just days away @techlore from launching the biggest update to our privacy tools ever, and I want a few more eyes on it before we ship ๐Ÿ‘€ If you're new: These are free tools designed to help anyone, not just you technical folk, take real steps toward protecting themselves online. Whether you're just starting out or already running an open source operating system! ๐Ÿง  SPA Quiz: Find your personal threat model. Not "how private are you" but "what kind of user are you," and "are your habits actually aligned with your goals?" You get an archetype, a score, and a personal link to track your progress over time. No accounts, no data collected. ๐Ÿ” SPA Tools: A searchable, filterable resource library with a selection of tools designed for different people. Looking for an open source E2EE messenger that works on iOS? A data broker removal service? Browser? Just filter or search for it. No more scrolling forever. ๐Ÿ“ก VPN Finder: Our classic VPN chart reimagined! Proper dark mode, rebuilt backend, compare up to 4 VPNs side by side, and community submissions built right in. No more GitHub PRs to add or correct data. ๐Ÿ“„ Wiki: Coming at launch, ties everything together. Our Techlorian community has had internal beta access and left great feedback which is already shipped. HUGE shoutout to them for making these tools better before public eyes see them ๐Ÿ™ Public beta links are live now if you want to poke around before launch: ๐Ÿง  Quiz: https://v2026-05.techlore-website.pages.dev/quiz/ ๐Ÿ” Tools: https://v2026-05.techlore-website.pages.dev/tools/ ๐Ÿ“ก VPN Finder: https://v2026-05.techlore-website.pages.dev/vpn/ Enjoy them, and please drop anything obvious in the replies...bugs, confusion, things that don't make sense. Full launch coming soon ๐Ÿš€

    @hen@social.lol @techlore@social.lol These are outstanding resources! I think the best thing about it is it can get the average user to begin the privacy journey. Thanks!

    @hen@social.lol 1.This question below doesn't have an answer that fits me. I want to be safer and I don't mind if that makes things less convenient (even a lot). 2. When showed what type of user I am in the middle of the quiz, it flashed too fast for me to read more than a few words (non native english speaker here). I would suggest staying on the screen and adding button for transition to the second half of the quiz. It happened in duckduckgo browser on android (if its a bug). @techlore@social.lol
