This is a dumb question but I’m gonna ask anyways 😂

How do apps like simplex or other open source apps, without a defined revenue source (sales etc etc), bring in revenue?

I think simplex is fantastic, for the record, just always wondered in general how money is made. Outside of funding events obviously lol

I like signal. They have some nice ui choices past the privacy pieces.

They are the gold standard of encryption. It's just a shame they still insist on requiring a phone number.

Yeah. I’ve found an ok way around that but it’s still a pain to have to jury rig something lol
