- drdaeman 4y agoAre software developers really a small market? There is probably low priority/ignored because most developers can easily do this on their own, so it's not really worth the hassle.
- leesalminen 4y agoSome googling shows ~20 million software developers around the world. Some googling shows roughly 2 billion households globally and 50% of them have a PC in their household. So let’s say 1 billion PC users. 20 million / 1 billion = 2% So yes, it seems like a small market relatively.

- jbverschoor 4y agoMaybe.. but it would also make it way easier for 'normal people' to use SSH keys / signing.

- vbezhenar 4y agoStill they bother to compile ssh, git, they even got some custom OpenSSL binary. They definitely have some resources allocated for “non-profit” development tools.
