This is what fundamental scientific illiteracy gets you.

When you have no reference point for how the world around you works anything makes sense.

I mean... Every serious operating system already has some form of keyring feature right?

Not necessarily. There are many paths to exfiltrated data that don't require privileged access, and can be exploited through vulnerabilities in other applications.

Yeah, and electron already has a secureStorage API that handles the OS interop for you. Which signal isn't using, and a PR already exists to enable...

Stop comparing programming languages in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

The ecosystem is really it, C# as a language isn't the best, objectively Typescript is a much more developer friendly and globally type safe (at design time) language. It's far more versatile than C# in that regard, to the point where there is almost no comparison.

But holy hell the .Net ecosystem is light-years ahead, it's so incredibly consistent across major versions, is extremely high quality, has consistent and well considered design advancements, and is absolutely bloody fast. Tie that in with first party frameworks that cover most of all major needs, and it all works together so smoothly, at least for web dev.

A self hosted chores calendar? (programming.dev)
 

I'm looking for some sort of chores calendar where we can set up scheduled chores each day and assign an owner to them.

If those chores are not done then they start to stack onto the next day.

My spouse and I need to hold each other accountable for the chores and tasks in which we are assigned. And I think a great way to represent that is showing how uncompleted chores stack up, they don't go away, the time it takes to complete them still exists as a form of debt to our free time.

Are there any open source projects that do this sort of thing or help with keeping up with the home, tasks, & household chores?

The designers as seen by designers is so right.

Nothing they come up with can be wrong, it's all innovative!!
