   PageLock▲6

   Hey HN! I'm the creator of PageLock. I built this because I kept running into situations where I needed to share sensitive URLs (private docs, beta links, etc.) but didn't want to trust a third-party service with the data. How it works: - Client-side AES-256-GCM encryption using Web Crypto API - Your password and original URL are encrypted in the browser before storage - Zero-knowledge architecture - None can decrypt links without the password - except someone manages to break AES-256 :0 - Pure frontend (React + TypeScript), no backend database The key insight: by doing encryption…

   Anchor Relay – A faster, easier way to get Let's Encrypt certificates▲80

   From the cryptic terminal commands to the innumerable ways to shoot yourself in the foot, I always struggled to use TLS certificates. I love how much easier (and cheaper) Let's Encrypt made it to get certificates, but there are still plenty of things to struggle with. That's why we built Relay: a free, browser-based tool that streamlines the ACME workflow, especially for tricky setups like homelabs. Relay acts as a secure intermediary between your ACME client and public certificate authorities like Let's Encrypt. Some ways Relay provides a better experience: - really fast, streamlined…

    SecretDrop▲8

    Hey everyone, English is not my native language. This post was polished with AI, but the content is mine. I run a small dev agency in Germany. Every week someone shares database credentials, API keys, or a .env file via Slack or email. Not because they don’t care: because there’s no frictionless alternative. Vault setups are heavy. Enterprise tools are expensive. I just needed: upload → share link → done. But encrypted before leaving the browser. So I built SecretDrop.dev. What it does Files encrypted client-side (AES-256-GCM, PBKDF2 600k iterations) Built entirely on WebCrypto No…

    Hidetext.sh – encrypted pastebin where the server never sees the key▲7

    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…
