Wow, your site is a goldmine! Really loving how you make this subject matter accessible for average nerds like me.

Thanks!

I wish I were a little better at SEO so average nerds would have an easy time finding it.

I just read the article a second time and I really like it. This is precisely the starting point that I was craving for and if I had known about it I might not have written this rant :-)

My only SEO advice is patience. Your articles are great, people will link to it increasingly often.

That said, why the sole PHP focus? The starting point you just linked to is pretty much independent from PHP, and there's libsodium bindings in plenty languages. If your goal is simply to make good crypto easier to do for "normal" developers then the PHP association may do more harm than good (particularly because PHP is not very hip right now)

I'm mostly to blame for PHP adopting libsodium in version 7.2. Focusing on PHP was pretty on-brand at the time that was written.

I'm going to need to update it (Argon2id is now the default), so I might generalize the code (or make a tab system to switch between examples).
