Welcome to Discreet Log for April 2023!

Discreet Log is our monthly digest providing a summary of the research, projects and tools that we work on at Open Privacy.

In this edition we want to tell you about how to test new features in Cwtch Nightlies, and introduce you to the new Cwtch developer documentation!

Help us reach our 2023 Fundraising Goal!

Our 2023 fundraising goal reflects the reductions we made to staff and operations last year. This year we are only looking to raise $60,000 to support active research and development in projects like Cwtch, as well as maintain our existing projects and infrastructure. We could not do our work without you.

One of the most effective ways you can support us is by setting up a recurring donation on Patreon or Paypal.

Thanks to recurring support we are already expecting to reach 58% of the target! We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has helped support Open Privacy over the years.

Cwtch Developer Documentation

Are you interested in contributing to Cwtch, or building an alternative Cwtch client?

Or, Have you ever wanted to build a Cwtch chat bot?

There is now a new section on the Cwtch documentation site to cover these kinds of topics.

More information on how to download Cwtch nightlies, and give feedback, can be found in the latest Cwtch Development log

New Cwtch Nightlies

Two new Cwtch features are now available to test in nightly: Availability Status and Profile Information!

The Cwtch team have also published draft guidance for running Cwtch on Tails that they would like people to test out and provide feedback on.
