Would it not be possible to develop a 'client' node.js application with this library?
I mean, node.js is all the rave out there for severs but surely you can use it in (so to say) bundled client apps?
Please: correct me, for I may be wrong (I have _no_ idea of node.js) but it does not sound like 'nuts' to me. Just another language, another runtime, another PGP library. Download once, run whenever you need it.
- deelowe 13y agonode.js doesn't run in the browser. It's typically a server side application. And, yes, I think most would agree that node.js might be one of the few valid use cases for this.
- pfortuny 13y agoThank you. So it makes some sense to me, developing this kind of library. Even if they have a marginal usability spectrum.
- mrmekon 13y agoExcept this library doesn't have proper memory protection, and node.js has system access so it could just use GnuPG and be a lot more secure (and almost certainly faster, too).
