UX Team

Overview

Welcome to the UX Team page. We are making Tor usable for everyone. We act as a bridge between the Network, Circumvention and Applications teams and our users. We work on things like visual design, UI design, UX design and UX research.

Communication

Our synchronous medium of communication is IRC meetings that happen every Tuesday at 1400 UTC ​in #tor-meeting on OFTC. If you've never been on IRC before, here are some instructions to get started.

Our asynchronous medium of communication is the ​mailing list. This list is public in the sense that anyone can subscribe, send emails and read archives. Feel free to subscribe and just listen if you want, and feel free to post if you want to say something that you think is on topic.

Projects

Here's what we're working on right now:
