Keyoxide: free software for creating and verifying online identities

Keyoxide is a privacy-friendly #FOSS to create and verify decentralized online identities.

Since years there have been similar tools like Keybase, but because it is provided as proprietary and centralized one, you are supposed to fully trust that it should work as expected. Keyoxide, on the other hand, is free software, therefore it is possible for anyone to audit, copy, modify the code as you want to, and run it on a server of your choice. (keyoxide.org is maintained and provided by the developers as a public server). The identities you can verify with Keyoxide include: DNS, Forgejo, GitHub, services on ActivityPub, IRC, Liberapay, OpenPGP, Reddit, Twitter, XMPP, etc.

My CV of FOSS localization projects

One of the projects which I like to do when I have free time is to localize #FOSS projects which I actually use for myself, to collaborate with my colleagues, etc., into my primary language (Japanese). Localization is an enjoyable experience for me and I'm convinced it is one of the meaningful ways to empower users who are not native English speakers.

Below is the list of the projects to which I have contributed or actively localize on mainly voluntarily basis:

CryptPad: 2020 – ongoing
XWiki: 2022, funded by the team
Element and matrix-react-sdk: 2021 – 2022 (stopped contributing)
hostux.network: 2023
SchildiChat: 2023 – 2024
PrivateBin: 2023
Lemmy: 2024
SelfPrivacy: 2024
/e/: 2024
Duplicati: 2024
Projects on Weblate.org:
- FluffyChat: 2022
- Dino: 2023
- liberapay: 2023
- F-Droid: 2024
- OnionShare: 2024
Projects on Codeberg:
- Keyoxide: 2024
- /kbin: 2024
- Pineapple Lock Screen: 2024

I'm open to new projects to contribute. Please let me know if you have found interesting and promising ones.
