​T‌h‌e​ ​i​d​e‌a​ ​i​s​ ‌pretty simple: communicate in the open without everything actually being what it looks like. Not posting the full details yet or launching it publicly... It's still ugly and I don't want twenty people asking me to explain every line before I've decided whether I even like it.

Let me know how you like it... I think it could be really cool and maybe even a money maker for us maybe. At bare minimum it'll help us talk in the open when we need to.

You mean Maude built something... so is maude your unpaid intern now 😭

I mean... she has better documentation habits than I do... but I did the prompting work, so, no, I built this!

yo this sound cool tho. how it do the thing? is it like a browser plugin thing?

@deephax Extension, exactly, yeah. Just go to the repo, you would've seen that by now if you just went there.

"plaintext" that dont look like plaintext 🤔
bro made invisible ink for people who hate invisible ink

i want the beta lol

??? There's no beta... Just go install it.

Okay but now I'm curious. What kind of messages are we talking about? And how polished is it? I don't want to install some keylogger you wrote.

IT'S NOT A KEYLOGGER! THE CODE IS RIGHT THERE JUST READ THE CODE. That's all you're getting!

That's what someone who wrote a keylogger would say.

It's just hiding messages in plaintext... Just read the codebase. That's IT.

You can't casually drop “hiding messages in plaintext” and then act mysterious 😂. It's okay if you don't know how it works because it was really Maude. Hey @d34th, when did Maude join deadface?

I have no idea who that is.

I did the heavy lifting! Maude just helped clean it up.

This reminds me of that old “trust me, it’s secure” thing. Never ends well. Or maybe that was a commercial. I dunno. For what it's worth, I RTFM and did a code review - no keylogger, just encoding and decoding. It's safe, but not sure how practical. I didn't hear about this on the change call?

Not that any of you ever attend.

@daem0n pls tell me you are not about to quote a 90s commercial again

It was a good commercial.
