This document outlines the current state of the project. This is currently a very rough program intended to test a number of features. As a stretch goal, take what steps you see fit to improve the usability.
For example, after success, send a message to the user instead of simply dumping the json returned by github. After failure, display a message to the user indicating the fault.
All remaining tasks should be completed as described in the Expected Functionality sections. Most of these tasks require the generation or loading of a 32-byte secret key.
Expected Functionality
Generate the public key from the secret key, and display both.
Status
Incomplete
Expected Functionality
Return a JSON object containing all of the current, hardcoded user's gists.
Status
AFTER username is hardcoded in app.js AND a valid Github token is properly saved in .env - Functions as expected. Upon success, a large json object is returned from github and displayed to the user. This can be investigated for clues, such as how to find the ids of gists.
Expected Functionality
Return a base64 string of the user's secretKey
Status
Incomplete
Expected Functionality
Set the user's secret key to the string they enter.
Status
Incomplete
Expected Functionality
Create a public gist in the hardcoded user's github account.

Expected Functionality
Create a secret gist with encrypted text in the hardcoded user's github account.
The nonce + encrypted string should be saved.
Status
Incomplete
Expected Functionality
Retrieve the secret gist with the given ID, decrypt, and display.
Status
Incomplete
Expected Functionality
Create a public gist with encrypted text, encrypted asymmetrically using a friend's public key and your secret key, in the hardcoded user's github account.
The nonce + encrypted string should be saved.
Your public key + the gist ID should be displayed.
Status
Incomplete
Expected Functionality
With an input string of the message sender's public key + the gist ID, use the gist ID to retrieve the nonce + encrypted string.
Use the message receiver's secret key with the message sender's public key to decrypt.

Incomplete
