Any chance of opening the source? I'm a bit confused how it could be E2E-encrypted if the URL doesn't have a URI fragment. This is usually where the key would be located, as the URI fragment isn't sent to the server unless there's malicious code doing otherwise.

For card links, I'm using a one time key to protect the information stored on my server. The end-to-end encryption works when you exchange cards using the Neucards app with another Neucards user. It's a tricky situation because people won't use it if it isn't able to quickly exchange contact info like a vcard or other digital cards. The goal was to make sure nothing could be read by a third party without the user giving them access. As for opening the source, I'm going to wait and see. I understand the need for verification, but it is also difficult to make a living doing that.
It looks like the web interface is not E2E encrypted, the server decrypts the card info and sends that decrypted info to you.
