Forcing big tech to act like big dumb pipes is a fantastic idea that deserves to catch on. For accounts I care about though I just wish it was more discreet with QR codes blended into pics and plausible deniability baked in i.e. used legible 1337speak w0rd5.

It's a surprisingly fluid copy+paste process even with a mobile cursor inside a buggy p2p collaborative text editor [1]. I encourage others to real world test the mobile flow over a completely insecure connection.

It can also encrypt files before you send them. The output message is formatted to go unnoticed as regular text: no long words, no special characters, spaces don't matter. It works with unicode and any language

Nice and simple

    -“Sent your public key to your buddy, securely or not, doesn't matter”

It does if it can be MITMed

You are right about that, a public key info would be something like: "4kpA P5S 1LUAxPThou GdIO/J3A a G ea 3k GR Ir12gTJ Py8 .Q29u Z3JhdHMgZm 9yIHVzaW 5nIGVua W dtYQ. e0e a57cdd4c0 f509193 d6ad180e ab2 27". Even though it looks like text, it can MITMed, I'll change the readme, thanks!

does it work with whatsapp?

is it safer than pgp?
