I'm told that some people derive enjoyment from looking at art, particularly if nobody else can look at it. Not sure how much they'll enjoy staring at their exclusive URL...

It might work, if you truly trust whoever signs up. The fundamental issue is that there's just one encryption key for the whole database, and you need to provide it to everyone who you want to have access to encrypted data. If you st
