secure vault
Hey everyone! Just launched Secure Vault on SaaS Hive and wanted to share it here.The problem: Password-only encryption has a single point of failure — if your password is phished, guessed, or leaked, that's game over for your encrypted files, from anywhere in the world. And if you forget the password? Permanent data loss. On top of that, most consumer encryption tools are closed-source, so you're trusting a vendor blindly.What Secure Vault does: It encrypts individual files and folders with AES-256-GCM, but adds a physical second factor — a registered USB drive. To decrypt anything, an attacker (or you, if you forget) needs both the correct password and the exact USB drive that was registered during setup. The USB key itself is password-wrapped, never stored in plaintext, so even losing the drive alone doesn't expose your files.
🔐 Introducing Secure Vault .exe — file encryption that requires a physical USB key, not just a password
Why I built it: I wanted an encryption tool that doesn't trust avendor blindly — everything's open-source and verifiable, not a blackbox. The tradeoff is real and deliberate: there's no password resetand no backdoor. If you lose the USB drive or forget the password,your files are permanently unrecoverable - even I can't help you getthem back. That's not a missing feature; a tool that COULD recoveryour files without both would also be a tool that could be forced,hacked, or tricked into doing that for someone else.The upside of that tradeoff: even if someone steals your laptop ANDyour password, they still can't open your files without the physicalUSB stick in your pocket.

Hi everyone! 👋I recently launched ExamBuddy, a platform that helps competitive exam candidates connect with others traveling to the same exam center.The idea came from seeing students travel alone to unfamiliar cities with no easy way to find trustworthy companions or coordinate their journeys.The app is now live on the Indus Appstore, and I'm looking for feedback from fellow founders.My main question:When you visit the product page or use the app for the first time, is the value proposition clear within the first 10 seconds?I'd also appreciate feedback on:The onboarding experienceUI/UXFeature clarityAnything that would make you more likely to use or recommend itThanks in advance—I really appreciate your honest feedback!
Helping Students Connect Before Exam Day
Hi everyone! I'm Keerthivasan, a full-stack developer from India. I built ExamBuddy, a platform that helps competitive exam candidates connect with others traveling to the same exam center. The idea came from seeing students struggle to travel alone to unfamiliar cities, coordinate with others, and find reliable travel companions. ExamBuddy aims to make those journeys safer, easier, and less stressful through location-based matching and in-app chat. The app is already live on the Indus Appstore, and I'm now focused on improving the user experience and growing the community. I'd love feedback on the product, onboarding, and features that would make it more valuable for students.
