Who are you? Even a known and respected cryptographer would not release a tool with such confidence. First you need to request testing and code review before you announce to people that it is a “secure, anonymous file-sharing platform.”
This is not a community for sharing your personal programming projects for feedback. If you post here, there will be non-technical users who don’t know how to evaluate the security of tools and won’t understand they are taking a huge risk by using your unknown alpha release project.
This sounds really aggressive, he’s tobi_tensei, that must be enough.
Why not? Do you know about open source? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_early,_release_often
I think he’s precisely asking for testing and code review, announcing the intention of the software is not wrong.
Why not? It is related to privacy, it can be the seed for bigger projects, the author is sharing the code so you can evaluate and host yourself.
What a strange way to say “thanks for sharing”.
So, I’m going to try to say it better:
Thanks @tobi_tensei for sharing that code in the open source, please don’t stop your initiative for people criticizing, there are more people that likes and are thankful.
Fair point — I should’ve been more careful with the wording. I’ve open-sourced the code exactly so that people can audit, test, and critique it. I don’t expect blind trust, and I’m not claiming it’s perfect, just that I built it with privacy in mind.
If you have concerns, I’d genuinely appreciate feedback or a review. My goal is to improve it, not just promote it
