Hey everyone 👋 I’ve been working on a small side project to solve a real-world annoyance: securely sharing sensitive information like passwords, tokens or secrets – without using email, chat, or cloud drives. DataSafe is a tiny Windows app written in C++. It lets you create one-time, AES-encrypted messages with a simple hotkey. Once you hit the shortcut, whatever you copied to your clipboard appears in the app – ready to encrypt and share. The app uploads the encrypted data to a temporary server and gives you a link. That's it – just paste it wherever you want. No accounts, no fluff, no noise. Just secure, vanishing messages. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback 🙏 PS. This is the free version – the Pro version (coming soon) will support encrypted file sharing and self-hosting.

@gianmaria_caltagirone Hi! Thanks for your opinion 💎. You are absolutely right - too much documents and important data is stored in emails. I think that the corporations like this data, and this shouldnt be accessible. Regards

Congrats on the launch, Jacob! DataSafe addresses a critical need for secure communication. Excited to see how it simplifies sharing sensitive info.

@jun_zhao3 Thanks for your opinion! 💎 Is there any thing that can be improved? If you have any suggestions, it would be nice. Regards

Congrats on the launch! I could see this being especially useful for sharing secrets with remote team members. One thing you could consider adding is the ability for CI/CD platforms like GitHub Actions or automation frameworks like Ansible to access the encrypted secrets. Looking forward to see how you continue to develop this product!

Wasn’t expecting it to be this fast. I’ve already used it five times today.
