OpenKeychain VS redux

In addition to my PC set up I am also using the Android Password Store in combination with OpenKeyChain. Everything works fine except that decrypting any password simply works without requiring my PIN. I've tried both USB C connection and NFC and neither interface requires the PIN.

OpenKeychain is an Android app for doing some basic GPG related work. It can verify signatures (hidden in the "encrypt/decrypt" menu)

Also it integrates i.e. with K-9 mail to sign and verify.

OpenKeychain https://www.openkeychain.org/ integrates with multiple apps for encrypting your mail, plain texts, backups, xmpp chats.

I don't know what features you are looking for in encryption software but OpenKeychain is foss, audited and works just fine if you just want basic encryption/decryption/signing.

OpenKeychain: Easy PGP (version 5.8.0): Encrypt your Files and Communications. Compatible with the OpenPGP Standard.

I use mailbox.org with the encrypted inbox, Mozilla Thunderbird on desktop, and FairEmail + OpenKeychain on Android. I think StartMail is the only other one of those four options that supports standard IMAP and SMTP.

On Android OpenKeychain, TermBot, and K-9 Mail, are awesome.

Hmm, that is a good point that `useActionState` accepts a reducer-like function (although I think it's async in this case?).

And yeah, half of Redux's terminology is simply because the existing Flux Architecture libraries from the prior year all used those terms. There were several debates in the issues about whether to name them "actions", "events", or something else, and the conclusion was "let's just stick with the existing Flux terminology":

FWIW, as I've revamped the Redux docs over the years, I have specifically made sure we describe the "actions === events" aspect:

Libraries like Redux or MobX can be used for state management, but it is important to weigh the pros and cons of introducing a centralized state.

Consider using the useReducer hook or a state management library like Redux or Zustand for complex state logic.

Some even go the opposite direction; in the case of Redux, there isn’t a union type to be found despite Redux being a conversion of Elm to JavaScript, and later to TypeScript. The whole point of Unions is ensure you’re Reducers can only do “1 of 3 things”. Instead, you’ll see String constants, or _maybe_ an Enum if you’re lucky. Often it’s dangerous Records used to narrow a domain when a Union should have been used instead.

React and React Native share many core libraries. You can use the same state management libraries like Redux, MobX, and data fetching libraries like Axios or the Fetch API.

Redux Documentation

Redux is a state management library for JavaScript applications that provides a centralized store for managing the state of an app. It follows a predictable state container model where actions are dispatched to trigger state changes, and reducers are used to define how the state transitions in response to those actions. Redux enforces immutability and a unidirectional data flow, which makes debugging easier and state transitions predictable.

I most recently interviewed Dan Abramov, creator of Redux and React core team member, about his work at Bluesky and the development of Bluesky's underlying technology – Authenticated Transfer Protocol, or AT Proto for short. I learned that while TBD’s Web5 and Bluesky’s AT Proto share the vision of a decentralized and user-centric web, their approaches and underlying technologies offer a fascinating contrast. I'll examine these parallel approaches in hopes that TBD, Bluesky, and the broader community can gain valuable insights into building infrastructure for the decentralized web.

State management is one of the most important part of a web application. From the use of global variables to React hooks to the use of third-party libraries like MobX, Redux or XState to name just these 3, it is one of the topics that fuels the most discussions as it is important to master it to design a reliable and efficient application.
