Pssecret is self-hosted service to share secrets (like passwords) with somebody
over the network, but don't want them to appear in chats, unencrypted e-mails, etc.
This service tries to be as anonymous as possible. The only personal information that will be stored
on a server will be IP address of the client that made request to the server.
Service is built with Python, FastAPI and is using Redis for data storage.
