[PSA] Wickr, the encrypted messaging app, finally goes open source.

Finally, Wickr has released its core crypto code to the open source community.

The end-to-end encrypted messaging service launched in 2012, long before Signal took off and WhatsApp rolled out encryption of its own.Yet Wickr became one of the last to publish its code to the open source community.

No it hasn't. Read the page you just linked.

They have published the source. It's different.

I hate wickr for the sole reason of making me click on every message to unlock/read it. Even when it's the active window.

Why the fuck do I need to do that?
