First of all thank your for your app, I really like it, and I would have already donated if there were a PayPal or wire transfer method to do so.
IMHO it would really make your software more trustworthy and sustainable if you could provide a way to independently decrypt SilentNotes repositories, in case one has only the SilentNotes repository file and the transfer code.
From what I understand both SilentNotes and Standard Notes use the same crypto algo (XChaCha20-Poly1305), so maybe the already existing Standard Notes decryptor can be adapted somehow? It's under AGPL3.
Thank you for your consideration.

It's an interesting idea and with SilentNotes becoming a WebAssembly (WASM) it would probably be doable with the original source code, just reading and writing to the locale device could be a problem. On the other side, the only advantage I see, is that one doesn't have to install SilentNotes to decrypt the repository. The laborious part of downloading the repository from the storage (e.g. OAuth2) would be left to the user.
If SilentNotes would hypothetically offer such a function to offline encrypt/decrypt a repository, would you still see an advantage in having an independable app? And how would you use such a repository, using it as a backup has its own challenges: #225 (comment)

One example of such would be Standard Nodes who provide a offline browser-based decryptor for their encrypted files: https://github.com/standardnotes/decrypt
