Kryptor: A simple, modern, and secure encryption tool.
I'm using libsodium-core, which is a fork of libsodium-net. I'm not using Nsec because it doesn't have things like XChaCha20 exposed.

Libsodium, functions to encrypt and decrypt with fewer parameters.
In the documentation that he sent me I could find some examples, which however used several messages, while for what I have to do I only need one which must be both the beginning and the end.

Understanding the impact of partitioning oracle attacks on production deployments of ChaCha/Salsa
If you look at the latest commits in libsodium-doc, then you'll see that Frank has now removed the padding fix suggestion, possibly due to me mentioning that in the Kryptor post (the timing matches anyway). His new recommendation is interesting, but he unfortunately doesn't cite any papers about the topic.

Kryptor: A simple, modern, and secure encryption tool.
Interestingly, Frank just clarified a few things in some of the latest commits for the libsodium-doc repo. He is now saying to avoid using a password for encryption. I wonder what motivated him to do that.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing libsodium-core and libsodium-doc you can also consider the following projects:
age - A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.
ChaCha20-BLAKE2b - Committing ChaCha20-BLAKE2b, XChaCha20-BLAKE2b, and XChaCha20-BLAKE2b-SIV AEAD implementations.
Kryptor - A simple, modern, and secure encryption and signing tool that aims to be a better version of age and Minisign.
