It's not a great choice though. The idea of horcrux is that any piece is enough which is basically exactly the opposite of what shamir secret does ;) It was a much better choice for a script with the same name I used a while ago that would duplicate backups on several storage systems.

Anyway, who cares about the name, it's a pretty cool website :)

Exactly (about it being the opposite of an "actual" horcrux). But this is not even the first (or the second) split-secret mechanism to make this same reverse analogy

Not to mention that there are already two other similar projects with the same name:

I know. Have you seen what the author has been up to lately?

Mostly newborn caregiving. During nap time: GitHub repository fleet management [1] and end-to-end-encrypted analytics [2].

Sorry, didn’t mean to cast shade in your direction, I’m talking about the author of Harry Potter

No worries, your comment makes more sense to me now :)
