    This reminds me of the good old days before signal, back when it was still called SmsSecure / TextSecure / Silence. This was pretty much the same concept but on top of SMS. I loved it

      Thanks :) Have not witnessed those good old days myself but have to check out! I assume the encryption flow has to be flawless UX/UI to win the consumers for such a tool

    cool app. i think a lot of people may think you're talking about quantum computers, think it's above their paygrade, and then not even open the link. I am interested in using, but it's a barrier to find someone else to use as well. Curious how much AI was used to build the app if you're comfortable sharing?

      I do recommend getting rid of all the mdashes and AI generated phrases in the readme, otherwise people will correctly infer it was an AI generated readme and pass the app by. I think AI slop tells may be offputting especially for a security focused app where people are trusting you did the cryptography correctly

        Thanks, AI was heavily used in the development since I am not a frontend developer and needed the UI for extension + Ios swift. I know cryptography so backend and underlying infra was built by me + backend, have good understanding there.

        Thanks for the comments, I think its useful to create bot accounts across all social media so the users can immediately try out the encryption without having to bring their acquitances at this early stages.. + It can act as a verifier to verify your ownership of the actual accounts whenever you are adding them to your profile!

        Appreciate the feedback

    Would love to hear any thoughts

    To be honest, I don't get how I would use it. I understand the text I send will be encrypted, but what does using it actually look like.

      Thanks, perhaps while its hard to get the public recognition behind such tool when starting out, I should make more real demos of how it works with messengers and create Demo bot + verifier account across messengers where the user can try it out immediately after downloading :)

        Yes, or you can record gifs and feature them prominently on the front page of your GitHub, for example?
