Show HN: Stasher – Burn-after-read secrets from the CLI, no server, no trust

Your skepticism is valid and if your flow already includes: A secure messaging tool (e.g. Signal), a GPG workflow or local encryption or a team that uses shared password vaults. Then to be fair Stasher might not be better.

I built Stasher for me. I wanted an easy, CLI-first way to share one-time secrets without worrying about accounts, apps, or trust. If Signal or GPG works better for you that’s totally cool.

Stasher exists to make casual, secure sharing simpler not to replace tools you already trust.

Yes, valid, congratulations on shipping!

It's just that the entry level for adopting a new tool (for other people) is:

Convince my recipient to use this system instead of "Why not just send the password as we usually do on our secret chat."

And then we spend 20 minutes talking about it and me advocating for their unknown and unaccountable creator.
