I wrote this a while ago and full disclosure I am the maintainer of this repo and I run the service, but I wanted a way to do full end to end encryption that was easy for me to use https://github.com/abemassry/wsend-gpg The downsides are it's command line only, the upsides are you can audit the source and the encryption happens before it leaves your machine. Just wanted to share it with you in case you were interested. I'm a Signal user as well and I like what they are doing too. I have some friends who only exchange messages with me on Signal.
In Bitwarden Send - A trusted way to securely share information with anyone
A quick and easy way to send files from the command line. https://wsend.net Tech Used: Bash, Node Statistics: 612 users, 7 paying customers History: I started working on this in Jan 2013, I wanted a quick way to send files from the command line and get a URL. I later found after building this backend, I, or anyone could expand upon it in many ways https://github.com/abemassry/wsend https://github.com/abemassry/wsend-gpg https://github.com/abemassry/wsend-twitter-card A little more about how it was built is in this post http://abemassry.com/blog/2014/02/14/building-wsend/ I have some more ideas as well, if anyone has any ideas or wants to work on this with me I would definitely be down for it.
