It’s also been baked into Codex. Go figure

I've been using Libreoffice to store my diary for years -- IIRC they use blowfish on the crypto side of things? I had a weird issue a while back where I'm not sure if I forgot my diary's password, or the file got corrupted.

I've had that happen a few times, each with a long space in between I keep things on paper.

It's a great project that doesn't get enough love.

It's open source software - it can be baked into pretty much anything given they follow the license terms.

The number of weekly downloads has simply been increasing over time, due to growing popularity. Calling each new high "record-breaking" is a bit meaningless.

Not really. One entity embedding the software into another will only account for at most a handful of downloads.

Unless Codex is vibe coded and it downloads it directly on every installation…
