Products that do what I made my commercial clipboard manager open source because it's right does
Hey HN, Clipboard managers handle sensitive data such as passwords, personal notes, API keys, etc. To trust one you need to be sure that it doesn't send your data to third parties or store it on remote servers. With closed-source apps, you have to take the developer’s word for it. As a software engineer, I don't like that. Transparency matters. So, I decided to make my commercial clipboard manager open source. Anyone can inspect the source code, verify that data stays local and never leaves the user's device. Anyone can build the app from source and use it. At the same time, the app is still…

We are longtime members of HN and this is our only submission requesting feedback from the HN community on our product, Clipboard which we have been developing for the past year. Clipboard is a service to save anything online using a bookmarklet or browser extension (think Dropbox for content on the web). Clipboard is built using open source technologies, including Riak, Redis, NGINX, Node.js, and jQuery. One of our core differentiators is how we preserve the visual look and functionality of the original source, which is evident in the sample clips from github here:…

I’d like to introduce ClipboardShield [1], a free open-source clipboard firewall for Windows 10/11. It helps protect against clipboard hijacking attacks [2], where malicious apps silently read or modify clipboard contents (e.g., replacing copied cryptocurrency addresses to modify the recipient and steal user’s funds or stealing sensitive data like passwords). How it works: - Define rules to allow or block clipboard access for specific apps. - Prevent unauthorized apps from reading or modifying clipboard contents. - Open-source and community-driven – contributions are welcome! - Since…

Just wanted to share that I just open-sourced Pushpin today under the GPLv3 license. I've been building it since 2012 and it's become one of the most popular iOS clients for Pinboard [0] [1] [2]. It hasn't gotten a large update in quite a while, but it still runs perfectly on the latest iOS and iPad OS devices. Enjoy!

Hey HN, Along with a handful of friends, I've been working on a note taking platform for the last couple years. We created a 2 minute pitch of our platform, if you'd prefer to read, maybe you'd want to checkout our README: https://github.com/lockbook/lockbook. If you don't want to do either of those things I'll try to summarize some of our core values: - everything end to end encrypted - open formats: markdown and svg - strong offline support - everything open source - native apps where possible - rust where possible Some other stuff we're proud of: - we have a CLI which…
