People Who Sparked Ideas

These individuals suggested features, improvements, and concepts that shape WIGGWIGG.

Family Member

Audio Security Marker Concept
Idea Contributor

Suggested the brilliant idea of using personalized audio sounds for security markers, making anti-phishing both effective and delightful. As an auditive person, they realized that most people don't read or look carefully at things, but hearing your unique sound during login helps you instantly know you're on the real WIGGWIGG platform. Perfect for those who process information through sound rather than sight.

Founder's Note

A thank you, from me

A phone given, hours on the line, precise bug reports. These people gave me their time and their hardware rather than money, and I wanted to name them myself.

  • Christopher

    An iPhone given, and encryption measured for real
    Helping hand

    He gave me his old iPhone. That meant testing on a real device instead of a simulator: the real network, the real notifications, the real battery. It is also where I could measure how fast the encryption actually runs on a phone with a few years on it, and that is the number that matters. A simulator always lies a little. Thank you, Christopher.

  • My father

    The simplest question, at every screen
    Helping hand

    He spent hours on the phone with me picking apart the mobile app, one screen at a time. He set security and privacy aside and asked one question instead: is this simple? He has seen a few things come and go, and it shows in how precise his questions are. His "why do I have to do that?" fixed more than plenty of technical reports did. Thanks Dad.

  • Someone who prefers to stay anonymous

    More than 50 reports, and videos with a soundtrack
    Helping hand

    This person filed more than 50 feedback and bug reports during private testing. Not "it does not work": precise, reproducible reports, the kind that save days of work. And a lot of videos, often with a soundtrack that was never meant to reach me. It made me smile every time. Thank you. You will recognise yourself.

  • The person I share my life with

    An ear, every evening
    Helping hand

    You arrived in the middle of this project, with everything that comes with it: the evenings that end late, the screen still glowing beside the bed while you sleep. Thank you for listening to my wildest ideas without ever needing to understand a line of code, for always offering an ear, and for your patience through the evenings when I was there without really being there. None of this would be the same without you.

CAB, founder of WIGGWIGG
