From the sources

blindsend is an open source tool for private, end-to-end encrypted file exchange. It supports two use cases - sharing files and requesting files . You can find the protocol description in the protocol.pdf file. You will start by uploading files and obtaining a link to download. You can then share the link with anyone and they will be able to download the files. If you are sharing the link via an unsecure channel like facebook messenger, a password can be set to additionally improve the security. You should share the password using a different secure channel, for example, in person. If you need someone to send you a file, you will generate a request link and send it to that person.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time. Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…
