Excellent work Joe, Peter, et al! This is going to be a great go to tool for a wide number of people.
Suggestions: - It you want the tools to improve against their competitors, it would also be useful to see/rank how implemented features get graded. If the method of securing past communications against stolen keys gets a checkmark, how well does it fair among others with that checkmark? A, B, C, D? - I echo Ximin for sorting by platform. - I saw PGP tools for Mac, Windows and iOS, but not Android and some others - it would be great to see OpenKeychain and Engimail on this list. - Of course it would also be great to list the SafeSlinger Messenger. :-) Cheers, Mike Michael W.
