And in some cases of bigger sites summarizing their terms, it's straightforward incorrect, 500px for example: http://tosdr.org/#500px That's why we think it's important for an independent non-profit to review

Thank you! And yes, we try to be as objective as possible of course. That’s also why we think it’s very important that everything we do is open.

Sorry for the confusion, we’re moving the short description a bit up and in general make it more clear what we do: Rate terms of service of websites. :)

And the rating is nearly done, the class should be up in a few days.

Sorry, the short »About« is a bit lower down on the page, before the ratings: »We are a user rights initiative to rate and label website terms & privacy policies, from very good Class A to very bad Class E. Terms of service are often to

We pretty much agree that it’s a broken concept. But that doesn’t keep companies from data retention, or using your content with their copyright, or or or …

Jan from ToS;DR here: Rating the websites and making these ratings easily available is only the first step. Raising people’s awareness of bad terms and then getting services to actually use proper terms is the actual goal.

I also used to have a whiteboard on the back of my laptop lid. The problem is though that it doesn’t really hold up well if you put the laptop in a case or a backpack. Or if you carry it around it will smear on your arm. Still I prefer whit

Thanks for the shout-out man! Your LightWrite was (pretty obviously) a major inspiration for it.

Wohoo, glad you like it! Image drag&drop and more goodness implemented by the awesome @jorin-vogel. It would be cool if you can submit the text flow issue (and any more suggestions you have) at http://github.com/litewrite/litewrite/iss

There's a simple pure frontend editor web app at http://litewrite.net - since it uses AppCache and localStorage you can also use it anywhere. Even sync with remotestorage. Source is open at http://github.com/litewrite/litewrite

Thank you! I also put the existing website a bit more prominently in the description, to make sure people know we already have something. :)

Since you mention Freedombox – did you also check out ownCloud as well as the unhosted movement, with the remoteStorage protocol? There is a proof-of-concept social network build on unhosted: http://friendsunhosted.com Do you have an IRC

Hey! I’m not sure I understand your service, so (honest question): Is it basically a proprietary BrowserID (Mozilla Persona)?

The software being proprietary and if money is charged for it are two very different things. This case is about the former.
