vsakos··on Subrosa – An encrypted communication platform
So you're using FB to communicate with family and friends. As far as i know Facebook messages are not encrypted. Then NSA could use these messages against you (you said this). Am i right?

I know it can be open source without git, but GitHub gives a lot of benefits.

Also as I understood, you don't have Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Googe, Outlook, YouTube, and even HN account because NSA could one day transform everything against you?!

First impression:

- There is no demo, i can only guess that this is a "browser-based skype". I hate when i can't try it but it's free.

- Open-source, but no git repo?

Btw I had the same idea before (I posted it to an Idea Sunday thread) but I dropped the idea because i realized that no one needs this level of security, NSA is not interested in your chat with family and friends...

vsakos··on Ask HN: Is notifying users about a movie available on torrent illegal?
NinjaVideo was a streaming website, but on my website there won't be any illegal content. Only the "BRRip" word will be present in just two locations:

1. in the user's control panel next to a checkbox so he can decide whether he wants to be notified about the torrent availability

2. in the email sent to the user (or in other form of notification) with the text "BRRip is available for movie XY", no links to torrent or warez content or something.

vsakos··on HipHop: A "Popcorn Time" for music
It's actually a well-designed youtube client that doesn's show the video to the users, just the music, am i right?

vsakos··on Ask HN: Idea Sunday
A browser-based chat where the messages are encrypted in the browser so that only the conversation participants can see the messages but not the server, it's just storing them. The messages would be encoded by AES and the key exchange can be done with RSA. The database would store the encription key for every user for every conversation but encrypted with for example the user's password or RSA private key, and the private key would be also encrypted the same way, and when these keys are needed, the server sends them to the browser, the javascript decodes them with the user's account password and voilá. So it would be a browser-based Skype with Mega-like encryption.
vsakos··on Ask HN: Should I switch from PHP to NodeJS?
i'm a solo developer (still a student, so i don't get much time for coding). i see that node is growing fast and i just want to know is if it's worth using instead of apache+php, and can it be a 100% replacement.
