I've being building something have similar functionality recently, thus have the underneath tech stacks in mind the moment I saw the title, (webcrypto: ecdhe, kdf, aes/gcm), further glance into the source code seems legit to me.

My only nitpick is for service like this, the shared private key shall be short lived one time using, storing into localStorage might potentially be a foot-gun with low ROI tho.

Thank you for the impromtpu audit. I agree that localStorage is overkill for the discord use-case, but wanted a bit more leeway for async forum posts.

I might tweak the UI to let users explicitly opt into no-storage operation, though now I wonder whether opening it in incognito is the correct UX approach for that behavior?
