This has been a pet project of mine for a while, and I’m happy to announce that I can finally let everybody else see it.
The Swipe Toolkit is a neat collection of projects highlighting privacy issues. For some reason, their Data Calculator really reached out to me. The only problem I saw was that the calculator was only a Flash application. I wanted something I could run locally, so I recreated the calculator as a Java application.
The nice people of the Swipe Project have given me permission to release my version as an Open Source project, so I’ve created a new Sourceforge project for the development.
Right now, the only version available is for use with Java Web Start. Head on over to the information page and fire it up. Special versions, including installers, will be available soon for Windows, OS X, and hopefully Linux. In addition to the Java Web Start version, there are now packages for Windows and OS X, as well as a generic source package. Go hit the main Data Calculator page for the downloads.
