Show HN: Tiny PWA to encrypt files using Passkeys

Filippo Valsorda's Typage[0] is amazing, but I was a little annoyed that there wasn't a ready-made demo repo I can immdiately clone and serve from localhost. So I made this, which admittedly is so simple that someone could've easily vibe-coded a more complex version in five minutes, but it's left intentionally bare-bones as a blank-slate intended for people to clone[1] and re-host.

This should go to https://github.com/FiloSottile/typage/blob/push-xstnltwzumvw... but somehow the fragment gets stripped. Here is the PR and Filippo's comment from Bluesky: https://github.com/FiloSottile/typage/pull/28 "It works! Beyond passkeys, I can encrypt a file in the browser with typage and WebAuthn, and then decrypt it with the same YubiKey from the CLI with age-plugin-fido2prf." https://bsky.app/profile/filippo.abyssdomain.expert/post/3li...
