Note that I included a .desktop for the standard version in case you want to do a full manual install, but there's not one for the portable version, it doesn't need one, just drop the binary on a USB stick and click it to run, it will do the rest.

It probably goes without saying but you need gtk3 and libsodium onboard to run it.

Remember, this is first test of experimental software, test only with dummy data for now until more test results come in.

EDIT: Even better, done a lot of nice work in the last few days, getting close.

ah, i was kinda expecting ya to build a gui wrapper for pass(1)

A reasonable assumption, my MO is exactly that kind of thing. But in doing research for this, it seemed like libsodium was the "gold standard" for this sort of thing, and their docs are actually not bad, relevant portion:
https://doc.libsodium.org/doc/quickstart

"One-shot encryption where everything fits in memory

    Create a secret key using crypto_secretbox_keygen().

    Create a nonce using randombytes_buf(nonce, sizeof nonce).

    Use crypto_secretbox_easy() to encrypt the message and send/store the resulting ciphertext along with the nonce. Unlike the key, the nonce doesn't have to be secret.

    Use crypto_secretbox_open_easy() to decrypt the ciphertext using the same key and nonce."

So I thought hell I can muddle through that, and it would be a real step above base64, lol.

using pass as the "backend" or rolled out your own?

Libsodium. Simple text DB, no sqlite or json deps. .

And that's what this is, so basic it hurts, no autofill or anything like that, basically just a sort of text-editor with encryption. You have to manually enter all your info, and to use it you'll need to copy/paste the info into whatever browser you're using. I may add a couple more things later, but i'm done for today and it actually works!
