Hey all. As part of our end-of-year campaign, we’re going to highlight some projects that rely on or build on Tor, emphasizing how Tor is at the heart of Internet freedom while at the same time highlighting some of the cool things others are working on. I’d like to highlight one project per day for the month of December. I’ve started to collect some projects on this pad:
https://pad.riseup.net/p/q0iJkHTMLBkF
But I know I’m missing some—probably some good ones. So my apologies in advance if I missed something important that you’re working on—please know that it’s my ignorance and nothing personal. I’d appreciate it if people here could fill in the missing projects.
Also, is one of your projects highlighted here? I would be delighted if you’d be willing to share a couple of paragraphs on why Tor is important to your project, along with a link to whatever page you’d like us to send people to when they read the blog post. If you can’t supply anything, I’ll come up with something, but I bet it would be better if you wrote it yourself!
Thanks in advance for your help with this! Shari
Hi Shari. Not sure if it's what you're after or not but for what it's worth I collect examples of projects that use Stem, and by extension Tor. Many are small but others can be quite substantial. Here's the list...

I think we're heavy on the "geek-oriented" projects in the current list, and lighter on the popular / society oriented projects. I'm thinking in particular things like Tactical Tech's security-in-a-box, or Facebook's onion site, or The Intercept's use of Onionshare, or the Wildleaks instance of Globaleaks.
It's one thing to point to cool technical projects that grew out of Tor that we as geeks can appreciate. But it's much more powerful to point to actual people and organizations who are accomplishing great things for society, and who are able to do it more safely or more effectively because they make use of Tor.
So, think big and think broad. :)
Thanks! --Roger

ProPublica's onion site is also great for users who want to access news without being blocked or redirected.

This afternoon we just published a fresh "how to safely get in touch with us" guide (that'll eventually replace our old SecureDrop instruction page) that plugs our SecureDrop and briefly mentions our onion site: https://www.propublica.org/article/how-to-leak-to-propublica or alternatively: https://www.propub3r6espa33w.onion/article/how-to-leak-to-propublica
(I'm hoping to *eventually* improve the visibility of our onion site, too; we link to our SecureDrop info from our site footer, but don't mention our onion site in too many places.)
Anyway, hope this is useful as a "non geek-oriented" public usecase for what y'all are collecting.

This year, Foolscap, magic-wormhole and Tahoe-LAFS all added Tor support!
Although they probably still count as "geek-oriented", at least Tahoe-LAFS is aiming to serve more-general users (even a non-Web GUI in the works ;). I am bothering the appropriate people and will hopefully get you some blurbs.
Also possibly relevant: Tahoe-LAFS (now) has integration tests that use Chutney to set up a local test-grid to confirm operation of the Tor stuff (again: geek-oriented, but pretty cool for developers who are using Tor and want to test things).
