CryptexVault – Decentralized Password Manager
Hi everyone! We started working on this project last year because a password manager that we used was being sold to another company and stopped offering their service. We were not happy with the alternatives that were available so we decided to give it a shot and build our own. We are now at a point where we have a working Beta and are looking for some feedback from the community. The main idea is to have data synchronization without a central server (single point of failure). When you create a Vault (inside which you can store your credentials and other sensitive data), you can "Link" it to…

In plain words
CryptexVault is a decentralized password manager that stores encrypted credentials and sensitive data locally on users' devices. It synchronizes information across linked devices using WebRTC without relying on a central server, eliminating a single point of failure. Users control their own vault, which remains encrypted and is only shared with devices they explicitly link. The product is currently in beta and targets users seeking alternatives to traditional cloud-based password managers.

No need to depend on any service that holds your passwords, secrets or other credentials.
True privacy through local-first, peer-to-peer password management. Our users are security-savvy individuals who refuse to entrust their passwords to third-party servers. Local storage eliminates the exposure risks of cloud-hosted vaults by keeping everything on devices you control. Centralized services can be compromised, shut down, or coerced, cutting off access to your own data. By removing our company as a potential failure point, you gain uninterrupted access and ironclad privacy. Encryption and decryption occur only on your devices-no master keys ever transit our servers. We leverage WebRTC's ICE framework for direct, encrypted peer-to-peer synchronization without storing any vault…from cryptex-vault.com

Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
