Background
Full-stack engineer with experience and interest in everything from cryptography, blockchains, and web development. I write everything from smart contracts, protocols, implementations of cryptographic primitives to scalable, distributed web applications end-to-end.
Particular fields of interest:
- P2P applications.
- Highly distributed, fault-tolerant, geo-replicated applications using modern databases.
- Decentralized and adversarial (BFT) applications.
- Reproducible and verifiable compilation of software.
- Blockchains and deterministic finite-state machines, Zero-Knowledge proof systems like SNARKs and STARKs.

A very small library to implement public-key authentication on webapps in lieu of password-based authentication. Using tweetnacl/libsodium. Would definitely not recommend any more, better to use something like a full PKI with PKCS #7 or use JWT/cookies issued on the basis of SIWE authentication.
The source code is still available on GitHub here.
DAVBlog is basically a SPA that fetches Markdown files from a WebDAV server and renders them to HTML. It can also be pre-rendered for the sake of SEO. Still works although I don't use it any more.
