Jern – a secure terminal-based journaling tool

The main goal of Jern is to be very simple and easy to use, but provide a modicum of security for your journal entries, at least to prying eyes. It was fun to learn about AES-128 and IVs and such, but I understand that this isn't a perfect solution. Right now I have a build ready to use for Windows, but it technically (should) work on Mac and Linux! Requires .NET 8 to build. Powered by the awesome GUI library Terminal.Gui, please check them out too Decided it's about time to start putting eyes on my projects and this one is the most complete. Please feel free to provide any feedback or recommendations, thanks HN!
