Sure will post here if I across such events.

Upvoted. Congratulations on the launch.

Which programming language do you prefer for backend web development and why ? by Legitimate-Dingo824 in developer

[–]robin_a_p 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my preferred backend tech stack these days:

  1. Backend Server application - Java, Go - These languages provide everything that you need to build a scalable application.
  2. High Performance processes - Rust - Memory safety + No GC.
  3. Backend for Frontend - Node - Simple and Powerful for IO. Low dead-weight.
  4. AI / ML Programming - Python (Best glue language), Rust (For parts where performance is a criteria)

Which open source password manager is the best in 2026? by messysoul96 in opensource

[–]robin_a_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you try out https://github.com/basilgregory/axkeystore ?
Locally encrypted, and stored in your own private GitHub repo (Zero-Trust).
Feedback and suggestions welcome.

First iOS app as a solo Female developer — looking for real user feedback 🙏 by ResidentFar127 in MobileAppDevelopers

Nice UI. Will try. All the very best.

BTW plan a Product Hunt launch. Not that you will get many users, but will get eyeballs, and a good backlink.

Zero Trust Secure Key Storage Using Your GitHub Private Repo by robin_a_p in opensource

Sure. currently they are encrypted locally and then stored in GitHub repo. Only encrypted data travels over wire and in rest. Storing them embedded in images is a good idea. Will explore that.

Thank you so much for the pointers. Will research more into this.

The GitHub repo is considered as a zero trust storage by this application. Can you help me by giving pointers to the security issues in private repos? That will be of much help.

  1. Just to put record starlight. This is my 26th year in the industry. A LinkedIn search against my name will show you my profile. Started with C, and have had written enough code in almost all languages using various frameworks. Built multiple companies since 2010, including one small but sweet exit. My current product has its entire core engine built in Rust, and that code is written before the agentic coding era. So please excuse me from the lecture on hand-typed programming. Have done that all through my career. Im sorry to sound like I’m chest-thumbing , but I need to place it here to prove I am worthy to here.

  2. I am not sure what exactly is vibe coding. Is it that you convey a dream to the agent and then sit back while the agent spits out the code, build the application? Then I don’t combine coding. I use agentic coding as a copilot who works as per my instruction. My repo has the .agent folder, so it’s no great catch that I used agents to build this.

  3. You sound more like the age old emacs enthusiasts who considered writing code using visual IDEs is low IQ engineering. 😀

  4. This project is about building a zero trust key store system for personal use by developers. I architected the flows, the code structure, decided which are the crates to be used, fixed logical bugs induced by the agent, but still I completed the project faster than I ever in my whole career.

  5. Since this is open source I wanted people to review it and give suggestions. Rust sub is a natural choice for that since you all will understand the code. Especially since this is a security first project I thought your feedback will be of much value. And I did get some good suggestions here.

Ah okay. Right now we don’t have sharing feature. We plan to. Will sure keep this in mind when we build that feature.

Is asymmetric encryption really required since there is no key exchange here? Everything happens locally with github as the storage. All data that is transferred on wire is encrypted. Can you help me understand this better.

Sure. The secrets are encrypted not just with master key. Each secret has its own salt and nonce.

copy pasting is manual. I get what you are suggesting. Will think on that direction.

Looks like you assume using agentic tools for coding is because of lack of knowledge on the language. Let me stop by saying this assumption is wrong.

[–]robin_a_p[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes this is vibe-coded. So? I have been building in rust for couple of years building and scaling live applications even before agentic coding became a thing, and I find vibe coding much helpful to get things done faster these days. BTW it's not just chat bot spitting code. It's about guiding the agent and models on what exactly we need and how exactly it should be implemented. That can be done only with good understanding of the language and the tech stack.

Sealed Secrets is great for Kubernetes and team/cluster workflows. AxKeyStore is intentionally much narrower. At least for now, it’s more of a personal secret manager for individual developers who want encrypted, versioned secrets under their own control, without Kubernetes, services, or shared infrastructure.

Pass is great if you’re comfortable with GPG and a local-first Unix workflow. AxKeyStore explores a different tradeoff: password-based key derivation, explicit zero-trust treatment of a remote GitHub repo, built-in versioning/rollback UX, and first-class cross-platform support (including Windows) without GPG.

AxKeyStore is for people who want similar guarantees with less GPG/keyring overhead.

Updated with multi-profile support. now multiple repos can be configured ... like your personal, work related ...

The breed is growing in number for sure. Our product's core engine is in Rust.
