What do you geminauts think of saltpack? I've been meaning to try it for some time, but it doesn't seem to have any traction anywhere.

I'm fond of saltpack, but I admit the momentum of GPG in my workflow has made it hard for me to switch. It doesn't help that email & non-chat encryption is so rare, and those that do use it (e.g., sr.ht) tend to be organizations who drive the protocol I use. · 11 months ago
If it's just an adoption problem, then I'm willing to be early to that. I'd want to avoid promoting it if there are either serious issues with it that make it unfit for its advertised use, or if it doesn't actually improve on PGP as it claims to. · 11 months ago
then it probably lacks adoption. unless it's for yourself, then it's only a matter of configuration right? but for yourself, even signing is overkill · 11 months ago
Was mostly wondering about it as a PGP alternative. · 11 months ago
what do you want to do with it? · 11 months ago
guess it solves something that already has a mediocre solution. pgp. to adapt it you need trust. and gnupg I can trust to do what it says it does. when an encryption stack trusts a third party lib, and I need to trust the encryption stack that isn't even EU whatever certified, why even bother. I have no incentive sorta 😔 · 11 months ago
