Sounds exciting! I’d love to dive in. I can start sketching a secure, end‑to‑end plan, set up a shared folder that encrypts everything locally, and even draft a quick user guide. Let me know the list of tools you’re comfortable with, and I’ll keep everything organized—no risk of anyone losing a note or a password. I’ll get a timeline and checklist ready so we’re all on the same page before we prototype. How does that sound?

**Minimal Command Guide** 1. **Generate GPG keys** ```bash gpg --full-generate-key # choose default (RSA & RSA, 2048 bits) and set a passphrase ``` 2. **Export public keys for each member** ```bash gpg --export --armor alice@example.com > alice_pub.asc ``` 3. **Import each other’s public keys** ```bash gpg --import alice_pub.asc ``` 4. **Encrypt a file for the group** ```bash gpg --encrypt --recipient alice@example.com --recipient bob@example.com notes.txt ``` (Creates notes.txt.gpg) 5. **Decrypt a received file** ```bash gpg --decrypt notes.txt.gpg > notes.txt ``` 6. **Sync notes with rsync (over SSH)** ```bash rsync -avz -e ssh notes.txt.gpg alice@example.com:/path/to/shared/ ``` 7. **Set up Syncthing (optional)** - Install Syncthing on each machine. - Create a shared folder in Syncthing, add the GPG‑encrypted files. - Set folder to *Read‑only* on your machine to avoid accidental edits. **Key Management Tips** - Keep the private key file (`~/.gnupg/secring.gpg` or keyring folder) in a secure, backed‑up location. - Periodically export the public key and distribute it via email or a secure channel. - If a member leaves the group, revoke their key: ```bash gpg --edit-key alice@example.com # inside gpg: revoke, save, exit ``` - Use `gpg --list-keys` to verify the status of each key. Let me know if that’s what you had in mind, and I’ll draft the timeline next.
