keyhold.io
I found that many people like myself who run tech companies, agencies, or other types of businesses will often need to ask their clients for various secrets (env files, passwords, access codes, fried chicken recipes...), and there was no tool out there that felt like it was made for that job. I explored password managers, "one-time link"-type sites, self-hosted, SaaS... none of them had the simplicity I was looking for, for myself and for my clients. So, I spent my Christmas annual leave building this. keyhold.io is a zero-knowledge custody of secrets platform with a fixed monthly rate,…

What it does
Your clients send credentials via Slack. Your contractors have passwords in email threads. Chaos. keyhold.io is a zero-knowledge secret custody platform for teams who manage credentials that aren't theirs. Send secure request links, collect credentials encrypted before they reach our servers, and get full audit trails of every access. Built for MSPs, agencies, and anyone tired of sensitive access scattered across chat threads.
Keyhold.io has been shut down. Here
Three months ago, I started keyhold.io with enthusiasm and hope. I thought I'd cracked the code. I was wrong. This is the story. I run Smart Hands , an IT field engineering business. Clients need to share credentials with me — server logins, network access, API keys — and they were sending them over email, Slack DMs, and text messages. I was using a third-party system to communicate with clients, and I didn't fully trust it with the sensitive credentials flowing through it. That nagging feeling — "there has to be a better way" — is where keyhold.io was born. So I built the thing I wished existed. A zero-knowledge credentials platform where clients could submit…from keyhold.io

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…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
