About yoble

I'm a software engineer who spent quite a bit of time on silent meditation retreat, in Theravada and Pragmatic Dharma traditions.

I'm also the maintainer of StatiCrypt, an OSS tool to password protect static html files you can upload anywhere. https://github.com/robinmoisson/staticrypt
