I wish there was a site to connect open-source projects who need better UIs with the designers over at Dribbble. On Dribbble you see a lot of UI concepts that never come to fruition. What if we could convince some of them to help build a better PGP UI? After all, real world applications look much better on a resume than concepts.

We've tried to write a streamlined UI for GPG keysigning parties in university. The CLI of gpg was absolutely hostile. Fatal errors would still have 0 as the exit code etc... :(

You're supposed to link against GPG-ME. It's specifically for that purpose.

Thanks! We apparently all failed at Google at the time. We were using Java but it seems there are wrappers.

As a designer, throughout this entire scandal I've been wishing for the same thing. I assume there are projects out there that I can contribute design thinking to, but I honestly don't know which ones need it or would welcome it.

Give this one a try: https://gpgtools.org/

It is a tool-set which integrates GNUPG into OS X

Given Apple signed up to PRISM what's the point? Do you trust OSX?

Do you trust the asics you're running on? At some point this mode of thinking becomes tautological and neurotic.

Sure but the early adopters for this type of product are probably running Linux...
