Solid Scribe is an end-to-end encrypted note taking application I created for personal convenience and privacy.

### Application overview

Solid Scribe is an encrypted note taking application that respects users privacy.

### Why it was created

I created solid scribe because I was tired of all my data being scraped and put into a giant marketing profile. Daily notes contain a lot of private information, giving all that data to google or facebook made me uncomfortable.

### How it works

Solid Scribe is end to end encrypted with note text completely encrypted using a private key. Any time a note is created a new encrypted database entry is created. Note text can not be read without the correct decryption key.

### Tech Stack

Solid Scribe is hosted on linode, using nginx and express router.
