This is one of the worst, easiest to detect, form of steganography. Publishers like Springer Verlag have many papers and books about detecting that type of steganography.

While analysis (breaking) of steganography is long lived there hasn't been much work on creating new better forms.

Just as things like PGP are still hard for regular people to use, and there's no real encrypted chat, there's not much in the way of strong stego.

Obvious caveats apply here: How much does the text need to be hidden? Who does it need to be hidden from? Me hiding my angsty poetry from my sister doesn't need much and anything is going to be okay. But me hiding material that could get me killed, from a well funded government? I need something better than a reference github project.

What about OTP? One of the easiest things to set up and use imo, users just need to know to exchange key fingerprints over a third party medium (in person being the foolproof way).
