Hi HN! tldr: SendSecurely is a secure platform to send sensitive documents and files to others. All files are encrypted locally before uploading to SendSecurely. The decryption keys are also encrypted and managed by a new audited database system. Anytime anyone accesses the decrypted keys, an audit log is created letting you keep track of everyone you have shared the file with and when they have accessed it. We would love for you to try this new system and share feedback! long (and technical) story: My partner and I have been working for the past 2 years on building a new privacy-oriented…

The recipient opens the file in the app. What’s different vs “just encrypt a file” is that the unlock policy travels with the ciphertext: time window geo radius password (Argon2id) visual key (optional) AND/OR logic across rules Current clients: Android + Windows. Crypto: AEAD (AES-GCM / ChaCha20-Poly1305). Threat-model boundary:…

Hi HN! I built hidetext.sh — a way to share text, code, and files through links the server can't read. How it works: your browser generates a random key and encrypts everything locally (NaCl secretbox, XSalsa20-Poly1305). Only ciphertext is uploaded. The key goes into the URL fragment — the part after # — which browsers never send to servers. The link carries the key, my server stores the locked box, and the two only meet in a browser. A design detail I'm fairly happy with: burn-after-read doesn't destroy the paste on the first HTTP request. The naive version means a Slack or iMessage link…
