What is this?

This is a cli project to support encryption/decryption of expendable notes

What this isn't

UI/Frontend/Backend. This is a cli project. Frontend and backend solutions are different projects. The reason for this is to allow flexibility in frontend / backend choice and to avoid huge bundle projects.

• A backend project that uses these libraries can be found here
• A frontend project that communicates with the backend can be found here

Features

• Symmetric encryption of notes using the pynacl project
• Local encryption & decryption of a note
• Support to store a note to a cenotes server instance
• Support to fetch a note from a cenotes server instance
• Support for custom cenotes server url

How does this work?
