front page fails to explain what it is, or what value it provides me. About page (tiny link waaaay far away from the content) says "Lock away messages, links, secrets... or even cryptocurrency in a unique, encrypted URL that wholly contains your KeepMe. " o...k... but what is a "KeepMe"? and I don't get it. Why would i want to use this? "A KeepMe link is never stored or captured and is only unlockable by knowing the correct answer." again.... why do i want this? Why not save it in a password/secret manager that I control instead of some site that may disappear next week/both/year? Plus... i now need to save the password in a password manager anyway...

I really like the sequential passwords idea, I haven't seen that before. Do you actually encrypt the future messages recursively? Or could I start brute forcing the last message without solving the first? EDIT: Also, any write up about how you made it? And or code?

  It’s recursively encrypted. You would have to solve it sequentially. Unfortunately not. I did this as a learning experiment to learn vue and improve my front-end skills. The essential structure of it is a 2d array[message,cipher], where the first index is the title + first message encrypted by the domain. Then each element after is a message + cipher with the secret message being the last message. To configure the encryption, each element pair is encrypted in reverse with each resulting encryption being added to the end of the next message separated by a special character sequence.
