Making a UI for encryptor.

Needs a UI to implement the Encryptor on web

[udbhavgovil]

What is the requirement here? Can you share some mock UI if you have something in mind?

[ScorchingShade]

The encryptor needs to interact with the UI using rest calls. As the first build, I plan the UI to have a navbar with the Encryptor logo placeholder, a footer, a jumbotron as the main element with caption about the encryptor (Please refer to the github page for the same). It should also contain a textbox to take the password to encrypt and a location picker to save where the encrypted password file should be stored. The password field must also be accompanied by a confirm password field and must contain the option of setting its visibility to show or secret while typing.

Please refer to the original Source code to further modify this as you like.

Hi, How do you plan to serve the UI to the end user? Also, there are libraries for encryption in JavaScript. Wouldn't it be better to implement a client side encryption so that it is more privacy focused and secure?

[ScorchingShade]

I plan to serve the UI using python flask API, Also yes you are right, I however started this as a college project on python and here we are!

Hi. I'm thinking of using tkinter as a UI backend, if I have time to implement this. But it seems so that you got a few parts of dead code which is just used to only make it look cool, sleep(1) and bar.next() lol. If we remove these parts of code and write the CLI (with your cool progress bar) away from methods, this could be used to create a Tkinter/PyQt/PyGTK Wrapper UI around this.

sure ! play away man!

If you are wanting to do this in flask, how much of it do you need for this issue? Do you already have a flask app and just need the template and route set up, or are you looking for full flask app?

it will still be a pretty light weight solution to add the flask app, I just don't want to repeat something you already have solved for else where.

Is anyone still working on this issue? I can make a UI via django.

[ScorchingShade]

Hello the ui requirement is in react or angular

[arnab44]

@ScorchingShade Is anyone working on this? I can build a react-bootstrap page for this if this is still open. In that case please assign this to me

[gouthamkrishnakv]

It kinda went out of work for me, and a lot of other stuff came up, so I'm not working on it.

@ScorchingShade,it would be pretty nice if he is interested in doing that.

Hey!! Can I also work on this issue?

[gouthamkrishnakv]

Hey!! Can I also work on this issue?

Sure, I guess @sara184, you can fork it and try working on it, it's open-source!

My personal advice to you would be, though, to learn something else, like deeper cryptography or maybe some other places where Python is extensively used, maybe learn threading, or async processing, or back-end development, or even deeper python (classes, methods, function decorators, protocols, typing hints etc.).

Hey @ScorchingShade , I can work on developing an UI in angular for the encryptor and also integrate the code with Flask. Here's a little project which I worked on, in Flask, as a college project https://crypt--it.herokuapp.com/

Thank you, so much for your advice I really needed it. I am already learning cryptography and machine learning.

Is this issue still open? I am looking to contribute to it.

@nishitiwari22 This reply would apply to you also.
