FileShot.io
I'm a college student developer who built FileShot because I was tired of "privacy-first" file sharing being marketing copy rather than an architectural commitment. The thing that bothers me most about the current landscape: services claim zero-knowledge encryption, then require you to hand over your full name and email address just to password-protect a link. If the server genuinely never sees the key — why does it need to know who you are before you can use a basic feature? It doesn't. That's a conversion funnel, not a privacy decision. How FileShot actually works: - AES-256-GCM runs…

FileShot uses client-side AES-256-GCM encryption — all encryption happens in your browser using JavaScript. Without JS, the encryption engine cannot run and files cannot be encrypted or decrypted safely. You appear to be on Safest security level, which blocks all JavaScript. To use FileShot on Tor, click the Shield icon in the toolbar and select Standard or Safer level. FileShot does not track you or run any third-party analytics in a meaningful way — all encryption is verified open-source.

SecretDropFeb 2026 · secretdrop.dev · ▲8Hey 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…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…
