What it does

Privacy is power - Collect identity keys in person. YOU own the keys. 100% trust. - State of the art encryption, at rest and in transit. - Quantum threats protection. - Transport agnostic - send encrypted data via chat, sms, email, AirDrop, etc. - No servers, no accounts, no downtime, no exposure. If a service is down, just pick another. - Encryption happens before data hits the wire. Only the intended recipient can read plaintext. - Forward Secrecy - single use ephemeral encryption keys.

Identity database application. Collect keys, encrypt messages. - aibo-cora/occulta

Occulta is a contact book where every entry is a cryptographic key you collected in person. Meet someone, hold your phones close, and exchange keys over UWB — no servers, no accounts, no phone numbers. Once you have their key, you can encrypt any file for them and send it over any channel you like: AirDrop, email, iMessage, Signal, anything. Only they can open it. Professionals with legally sensitive information — doctors, lawyers, accountants, journalists. When sensitive files move through a messaging platform, they travel through infrastructure someone else controls. Occulta removes that infrastructure: files are encrypted to a key that lives only on your contact's device, so there is…from github.com

    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…

    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…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
