Pretty great. It let me write this really quickly with minimal effort. There were some quirks and some weird hacks I had to make when it came to working with JS, but that could also be me doing it wrong. My biggest complaint would be aro

Anytime. You should still build one! It was a lot of fun to build. Thanks for the offer, but right now I don't see a need for any donations/self hosting. Maybe that will come, but at the moment a relatively small single DO box i

I have not made it open source atm, but it is something I am considering. Tech stack: Elixir/Phoenix (liveview mostly) WebRTC code is based off: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/webrtc-web/#...

That's pretty bad IMO. What information is available? In this case the information included first name, last name, ID number, phone number, address and parents names

Israeli tech is generally good. The problem is only a very small subset of companies or state institutions use this tech. Political parties are not part of this subset, and more likely than not the application developer that got this &quo

Even at the state level I should have to give my consent before they release my data to any third party. At a minimum I would expect all of those third parties to be audited regularly. Don't get me started on Der'i..

I am pretty disgusted by this. First of all they basically leaked every single citizens who is of voting age PII. It sounds like the admin username and password was visible for all to see inside the HTML source. Although I should be, I am n

The Ynet article has a really interesting short video documentary in which they interview many of the people involved in the decision making. Also no paywall. https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-5182507,00.html
