Where to Message
Which messenger should you and your people use? Say what matters to you and the list reorders. Seven messengers, facts as of 2026, scores illustrative. Nothing here is sponsored.
Try this: move the privacy or reach slider just past the middle, toward reach. WhatsApp becomes Best for most, and Signal stays Strictest match.
What this demo proves
What's happening. Seven messengers and five criteria, ranked by the same engine and drawn by the same decision page as Conscious Consuming and Kosplora. This app owns two things: its list, lens.js, and the colours on this page. The shared code that draws the page was not edited to make it.
Why it matters. It tests whether the engine is general. If a list of messengers works without any change to the shared code, so can a school's reading list. Your values file works here too. Autonomy, openness, access, community and wellbeing carry over, and the other five stay home.
Devil's advocate. I assigned these scores from public facts, and nobody has audited them. Signal leads on four of the five criteria, so anywhere on the private half of the slider the answer is Signal. That is why there is only one slider. With three sliders, no setting of any of them changed the answer. For the fuller comparison, 19 messengers with a source on every fact, use the messaging category in Conscious Consuming.
Rabbit hole. Read lens.js, all of it. Then make your own list in the starter builder, or read the Open Values Standard both follow.
