As stated at the beginning of the post, it's not mine, feel free to share your concerns on the author's Github: https://github.com/osbytes/crypt.fyi/issues !
Yes, lessons learned. Just sold it back to the place I purchased it.
Share sensitive information securely with zero-knowledge AES-256 end-to-end encryption. Features include burn after reading, password protection, and customizable expiration times.
From an author:
I wanted to share crypt.fyi a free, open-source tool I built for securely sharing sensitive data/files. It uses client-side encryption and zero-knowledge architecture.
Key features:
Zero-knowledge architecture
End-to-end encryption using AES-256-GCM (actively investigating post-quantum encryption options)
Self-hostable
Suite of configurations (password, burn after read, max read count, ip/cidr-allow list, webhooks)
Strict rate-limiting
Strict CSP to mitigate supply chain attacks
Web, cli, and chrome-extension clients
Fully open source (Github)
The problems I aimed to solve: Many people share sensitive info (passwords, keys, etc.) through email, Slack, or SMS - which often leaves plaintext copies in multiple places. Existing solutions either require accounts, aren't open source, or have security/privacy/ui/ux/feature/config gaps/limitations.

OpenBike: A lightweight, open-source NextBike client for Android.

A Nextbike client without Google Play service dependencies.
The only feature from the normal app that is not available is the booking via the map (no Google Maps, bikes must be booked via QR code) and thus the reservation function.
The rest works without any problems.
