Comment on MiniLock – File encryption software that does more with lessparent

Comments

Not really. The feedback period is for things like UX etc - this essentially makes the software (as usual for these homebrew efforts) much less secure than you think it is. When the primary reason that this software is at all secure is that it enforces a minimum entropy, if there's a bug in that then no one should use the software.

I don't see any evidence of the feedback being "for things like UX"

I also don't think the word homebrew is appropriate. Afaik homebrew means, 1 making beer at home. 2 apple package manager. 3. Term generally for endeavours connected to corporate products/projects but themselves small and independent.
