Age: A simple, modern and secure file encryption tool
This is great, it fills a gap that I've long defended as PGP's remaining legitimate use case. Of course, now we just need to work on the adoption problem. Despite the fact that PGP adoption is a well-known joke in itself, all the tools designed to replace it (with the exception of the IM space) have somehow managed to achieve even lower use rates.It's been almost five years since Magic Wormhole first released, and about half a year since that popular Latacora post recommended it for transferring files, and said "Someone stick a Windows installer on a Go or Rust implementation of Magic Wormhole right away". Guess what you're still not going to find a reliable Windows build (let alone a GUI) for? Yep that's right. Despite the fact that most of these projects come from a felt need for better alternatives to PGP for the average user, very few of them have actually come up with a product that's more accessible to the average person.
