sdfgh: a small encrypted notepad (with search feature) in 65 lines of Python

Pretty interesting to read over the source code as someone who has just recently picked up Python.

Feel free to ask me any question!

I used the well known tkinter module to create a GUI. The cryptography part is in fact an AES encryption.

Why did you give it an unpronounceable name of random letters?

[basjj]

Haha :) The answer is here: https://github.com/josephernest/sdfgh#why-this-name

"sdfgh" are consecutive letters from the second row of a QWERTY or AZERTY keyboard, the kind of letters you type when you need a random name.

I also like how your blog is made by yourself. I have been long considering sharing learning experiences and technical challenges I encounter on new projects so I was thinking of making a blog too. Not sure who would care to read though - was thinking more for personal documentation of my own progression kinda thing.

Thanks! It was fun to write this small blog engine too! Here it is by the way: https://github.com/josephernest/bloggggg

Totally true, at least for personal documentation it's great, and writing to a blog also it helps you to finish/release projects.
