There's a lot of complexity in gpg that's unnecessary for this usecase, I'd use age instead.https://age-encryption.org/
age is hardly a complete replacement for GPG
Thanks for creating this. I was just thinking why not use gpg for this?
Seems interesting but why not to use GPG?
GPG is well-vetted. The encryption here is GPG.
GPG works, I don't know why anyone thought that anything else is needed.
Such a profoundly helpful contribution.... How about detail on why it's not better than gpg?
GPG comes through again. Not ideally but acceptably for the paranoids. :)
pgp or gpg relies on you dealing with the keys.
Ensuring a gpg key isn't lost seems pretty obnoxious.
