How hackers steal your keys and secrets
After hunting for security bugs I've realized clients I’m working with are not familiar enough (or at all) with basic “hacking” techniques.

A Practical Guide to the Web Cryptography API
Client-side encryption is a feature I had wanted to implement in octo for a while now. When it finally came time to tackle it, I was surprised at the sparse real-world examples on the topic.

Javascript Required ; Didn't Read
I do find it great how useful JavaScript is for enhanced functionality in web applications. But when it comes to reading, pure HTML and plain text are still the most reliable way.
