So, this whole thing kicked off because I hit a wall with local storage - it just doesn't grow with you forever, you know? Plus, putting all my eggs in the basket of other companies felt a bit risky with all the changing rules and government access stuff these days.

What I ended up with is pretty cool: a personal file vault where I'm in charge. It treats any outside storage like it can't be trusted, and all the encryption happens right on my computer. I can even use cloud storage like S3 if I need to, but I never lose control of my own data.

Honestly, it just kinda grew on its own; I never set out to build a product. I'm mainly sharing it here to see how other folks deal with these kinds of choices.

I dont want to dump on anyone, but this is v2.4.0 and v1.0.0 was last month...

With 4 tickets...

I'm also unsure that refering to zero knowledge architecture is the correct phrase here. Instead I think it should be zero trust in this context.

But as other repos are French, perhaps the AI is from translations.

In short - a good idea, but needs time - and clearer explanations of what's going on
