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

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

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.
