Add FileShot.io to the list

I would like to suggest adding FileShot.io as a practical, real-world implementation of AES-256-GCM browser-side encryption.

About FileShot.io

FileShot.io is a zero-knowledge file sharing service where all encryption happens in the browser using the Web Crypto API with AES-256-GCM before any data is sent to the server.

Key cryptographic aspects:

  • AES-256-GCM encryption performed entirely client-side using the Web Crypto API
  • Encryption key is generated in-browser and never transmitted to the server
  • Keys are stored in the URL fragment (#) — which browsers never include in HTTP requests
  • Zero-knowledge server architecture: server stores only ciphertext blobs

Why it fits this list:

  • A working, production example of AES-256-GCM applied to file encryption in the browser
  • Demonstrates zero-knowledge architecture with practical key management via URL fragments
  • Relevant to topics like symmetric encryption, authenticated encryption (AEAD), and secure key transport
  • MIT open source — code is readable and auditable

Links:

This could fit in an Applications or Encryption Tools section alongside similar practical implementations.
