What it does

ProtectedShare is a privacy-first utility for sharing encrypted notes, credentials, andenv files (EnvShare alternative) alongside a synchronized private notepad. All encryption happens client-side using Web Crypto (AES-256-GCM)—keys never touch the server. Features include split-channel delivery (link + password), atomic self-destructing links, and a synced notebook utilizing local SHA-256 identity hashing to keep account metadata completely anonymous. Edge-native on Cloudflare.

AES-256 encrypted notes, .env file sharing (EnvShare), and self-destructing secret links. Zero-knowledge, no signup, no tracking.

Privacy-first secret sharing. Encrypt credentials, configuration .env files, join anonymous chatrooms, and write private text directly in your browser. Raw keys never touch the cloud. No signup, no tracking. Each utility operates entirely within your browser runtime. Choose the application that fits your security workflow. Create password-protected letters and configurations. Send the decryption key separate from the secure link to achieve high-grade two-channel security. Share database strings, configurations, and API keys. The decryption key remains stored inside the URL hash fragment, never reaching database log servers. An offline-first personal scratchpad. Encrypts documents with…from protectedshare.me

    In 2021 after getting thoroughly sick of Privnote, i built "Burner Note". Even though i didn't promote it in anyway other than a post here and a post on reddit, it ended up getting about 7000(ish) unique users per month. I kinda let it die about 18 months ago but i've resurrected it with some big upgrades. Most botable the app is now truly end to end encrypted (previously was just server side), and I've added dark mode as well as a few other bells and whistles. Feedback welcomed.

    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…

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
