While there's clear interest in your idea, the market is saturated with similar offerings. To succeed, your product needs to stand out by offering something unique that competitors aren't providing. The challenge here isn’t whether there’s demand, but how you can capture attention and keep it.
Not before thinking deeply about differentiation.
You're entering a competitive space with your secure text storage app. Seventeen similar products suggest there's a recognized need, but also that you'll need a strong differentiator to stand out. Don't be discouraged, many successful products thrive even in crowded markets. The average engagement (7 comments) on these products suggests there is interest, but your app must address user concerns around security and ease of use to truly resonate. Your focus needs to be on building trust and demonstrating why your solution is superior. Because there are so many other similar apps, you need to think very hard about what makes your product truly special and worth switching to. Do not proceed until you have a clear answer to this question.

Text λ is a simple text storage app with user-side encryption. It is currently available for Beta testing.I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions on the product.Thank you.
Secure text file encryption and decryption using either RSA key pairs or password-based encryption
Asks about use cases for the package.
Hi HN~~So, I just created NoteLock, a new app that allows you to send secret messages super easily using end-to-end encryption, on an open channel (so they remain encrypted in transit and at rest). This is my second MacOS app ever, so I'm pretty stoked. Just wanted to put something super simple and free on the app store. I noticed that there weren't any apps out there that made this process as effortless as it should be, so I created LockNote to give people a secure and simple way to share confidential information.All you need to do is enter your message and a password, and NoteLock generates a base64 text that you can post anywhere. All operations happen offline, on your device, and no data is ever sent to any server anywhere. Plus, I was able to use industry-standard AES-GCM encryption, which I'm pretty stoked about. Thanks to CryptoKit and Chat GPT, I was able to create something that's not only secure but also easy to use (and was easy to make). Plus I had a bunch of fun making the app preview video for this^0 Man I really love Muzak. Especially royalty free Muzak~~I didn't know there was so much of it!I've always been fascinated by encryption, and creating LockNote was a chance for me to play around with it in a very straightforward way. Aside from that: I really wanted to check the box on the App Store that says: "Does your app use non-exempt encryption" But then I realized that AES in CryptoKit was exempt anyway! If you're like me and you like encryption, or just want to easily send encrypted text in the open, NoteLock is definitely worth checking out.^0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS4nSseOH74
The NoteLock app was created for easy and secure message encryption. There was a question raised about the necessity of an App Store login requirement.
The login requirement is unclear.
A secure note-sharing app I built because I needed it myself! Features: * Custom Slugs: shareable links with personalized URLs. * End-to-End Encryption: Notes are secured with AES-GCM + PBKDF2 * Dark Mode + Multi-Language Support
Wallet is a project designed to store card information locally on the device, ensuring that the data is secure and cannot be stolen, as the app does not have internet access. Optimized for efficiency, allowing users to quickly copy details for transactions.
As it is with most, a lot of my work is confidential. Unfortunately, this means that finding a To Do List app that isn't heavily encrypted or even has a cloud connection is highly problematic in terms of compliance. Here is the solution! Secure Planner!
Thanks for sharing the Secure Planner project.
Free online tool to encrypt text messages. Secure password protection for your sensitive messages. Easy to use text encryption and decryption.
The launch is seen as relevant due to the importance of data security. One user inquired about instructions for sending encrypted text using the product.
Simple note-taking app that stores your notes on-device and uses top-of-the-line encryption to keep them as safe as possible.
Lets do it 🔥💪🏽
Set up a digital wallet in seconds. Store documents and cards in one place. Experience automatic text extraction, end-to-end encryption, and secure sharing. Perfect for backup, organization, travel, and managing personal, family, or team documents.
Folio Wallet's Product Hunt launch garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback, with users praising its clean design, ease of use, security features, and the convenience of digital document storage. Many consider it a game-changer, especially for auto text extraction and document organization. Users expressed excitement about features like expiry alerts and secure sharing. Common requests include a web interface, Dropbox integration, enhanced security options (2FA, passkeys), and clarity on encryption methods and data privacy. Several users congratulated the team, particularly Daria, on solving the burden of physical document management.
Users expressed concerns regarding security, particularly the lack of passkey authentication, 2FA, and cloud storage of private information. Trust and the safety of stored documents were major issues, especially given one user's experience with password recovery leading to data loss. The absence of a desktop or web application and limited document support were also points of criticism. Some questioned the international validity of digital licenses, the differentiation from competitors, and the monetization strategy behind the free service. The use of the term 'wallet' raised concerns about association with the crypto community.
Access provides secure storage for your personal information. It is a native app which pairs great with Passwords on Apple platforms.
Users praise the app's design and express interest in the product, with one user mentioning they are trying the Access team's product. Questions were raised regarding the project's open-source nature and about competitors.
A user expressed interest contingent on the project being auditable and self-run, indicating a need for transparency and user control.
I made a text, file encryption/decryption tool and an encrypted information, password management tool in one offline and cross-platform application for pc, mobile using ChaCha20Poly1305 cipher.Because everything is happening entirely offline on your device, no signup required to use the app.You can enjoy unlimited items, unlimited item custom fields, unlimited file, image attachments in items and more for free.I would love to hear all the feedback/suggestions. Thanks!

Whether you're working solo or in a team.We are hoping to use this post as an opportunity to collect feedback from fellow hackers.If there's anything we can do better, please let us know
Users commented on a product with mixed feedback. Concerns were raised about video quality, specifically mentioning pixelation and a 7-second wait time for videos. The use of dramatic effects was also noted. Positive feedback included the product's open-source nature, self-hosting capability, and simple note synchronization with encryption. Users suggested improvements in explaining the use of cryptography and advised against storing RSA keys server-side. Technical details such as the use of PBKDF2-SHA512 for private keys and the posting of the secure enclave's source code on GitHub were also discussed.
Users criticized the product for its unnecessary pixelation effect, poor video quality, and the complexity and trust concerns due to its closed-source nature. There were also security concerns, specifically regarding the storage of RSA private keys server-side and the security being inferior to that of Argon2.
