In almost all cases, only free software is allowed to be featured on PRISM Break. The only exception is when free software offers no viable alternative to proprietary software. "Web search" is the only category with this exception currently.
-
Quality over quantity. PRISM Break strives to promote the best open source applications. Ease of use, stability, and performance matter. This is the first time many people are looking to leave their proprietary walled gardens. Let's make it a good experience for them. If you're writing a privacy-minded FOSS app, please finish it before asking PRISM Break to promote it.

Before suggesting software, please first search this repository to see if your request has already been made. If it has been rejected, you'll learn why. If the issue hasn't been addressed, add a comment as to why it deserves inclusion. If the software has been improved significantly since the initial rejection, feel free to suggest it again.
-
Pull requests are heavily prioritized over issues. I will respond to them quicker and they will get an answer faster.

Software thumbnails should be 256-color, non-transparent PNGs. A 50x50 png in the
lib/img/freedirectory is good. -
If you have the time, please include translation stubs in all of the language JSON files. You'll save us a lot of time, and make translators happy. If you're adding the project Whonix for example, add the following line to every single JSON file in
lang/:"i18n-whonix-desc": "Tor-enforcing OS focused on anonymity, privacy and security. Offers ready-to-use VM images.",
For anyone who's interested in working on localizing this site, please look into the lang/ directory of this repository. There are some sample translation JSON files there. To start, just make a copy of the en.json file and start filling it out.
Please note: The canonical version of the site text is contained in ./index.html and ./lang/en.json. The strings contained in the xx.json files may be out of date, as they need to be updated manually by volunteer translators. Please refer to the text contained in ./lang/en.json when developing your translations to ensure your translation file is 100% up-to-date.
Test to make sure your JSON validates. A common mistake when editing JSON is putting unescaped quotation marks in a string. Make sure to escape them with either HTML entities (curly quotes) or a backslash (straight quotes).
"i18n-web-browser-note": "Add curly quotes “like this”.",
"i18n-web-browser-note": "Add straight quotes \"like this\".",
"i18n-web-browser-note": "You should never add quotes "like this".",
Bear in mind that the site is being constantly updated, so you may want to check back every so often.
You may find that a particular string of text, e.g. "i18n-whonix-desc", does not exist in your preferred language's JSON file. Feel free to add it to your file, just like this:
"i18n-whonix-desc": "Your fantastic translation here.",
Just edit the HTML.
Please edit the files in the src directory, not lib. This project relies on Grunt for CSS and JS concatenation and minification.
