Hmm I am currently testing out node-forge for encrypting/decrypting AES-256. Would you say that libsodium.js is better?

For me, it's not about having more monitors. It simply about having enough real state to be productive. It doesn't matter if I use 2 27" 1440 monitors or a 32" inch 4K monitor. Personally, a single 27" 1440 monitor
