This project is an ultimate password generator that instead of throwing unreadable garbage at you, it creates passwords from a community-built word pack and/or a set of rules.
I started working on a very simple Password Engine. It is absolutely not secure and I am fully aware of that 😌! I found a password generator by Proton that I could have used like a normal person, but it was written in Rust… and for educational reasons (and also to torture myself), I decided to translate it into React instead. Was this necessary? No. Was it painful? Yes. Did I learn things? Also yes.
Right now it barely works, but that’s kind of the vibe. Next step is implementing the endless list of features I’ve imagined at 2 a.m. Longer passwords, more customization, toggles for everything, probably sliders I don’t need, and at least one feature that exists purely becauseee…why not? This project is becoming less about security and more about seeing how far I can push it before I question every life choice.

I continued working on a mockup demo of the password generator site, which generates exactly zero passwords. I added an intermediate settings mode, an advanced settings mode, and a custom pack input, all of which are currently placeholders that exist purely to look impressive and give future me a problem to solve. Nothing actually functions yet, but the layout strongly implies i am a professional, which is honestly the goal at this stage. I haven’t started screaming for help, but the site is clearly warming up for that phase.

Built the tree structure and set up a demo with a bunch of placeholders that do an amazing nothing. The website will be in React.
