Encryption registration guidance sought

Have any of my colleagues registered with the government because you shipped an app that includes encryption? Could you ask around for me if not you yourself doing it? My MacOS, iOS, and Android app uses PointyCastle through Dart Flutter for SSH capability. I had AI produce a doc outlining what to do.

Here is an excerpt from the instructions for registering:

Submit Annual License Exception ENC Self-Classification Report

Reporting Period: Report covers January 1 – December 31 of each calendar year

Deadline: Report must be received by BIS and the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator by February 1 of the following year

Format Requirements: Prepare report per Supplement No. 8 to Part 742 in CSV format including:

ECCN (Export Control Classification Number)
Authorization Type

Mailing Address
Non-U.S. Components
Non-U.S. Manufacturing Locations

No New Products: If no new products qualify for reporting, send a “no changes” email notification

Submission Methods:

Electronic: Send as attachment to crypt-supp8@bis.doc.gov and enc@nsa.gov with subject line “self-classification report”

Mail: Send to BIS and ENC addresses as listed in the applicable rule


Have you done this? Would love some help!

I launched my gun stopper drone web game

Check it out:

https://game.gunstopperdrone.com

Single player, race against the clock to defuse a dangerous situation using a drone against an armed attacker.

Playable on desktop or mobile.

I hope this game is inspiration for a real life drone that can tase. I couldn’t figure out the FAA regulations so I made a game to start with.

Some news as it relates to the Internet Directory project.

I’m working on a PR that adds daily crawling of news sites, including rss feeds.

I read Ollama now has web search. Someone on HN suggested they are using Exa.

I have a news API as part of the internet directory project, and I plan to add an API that matches competitors in internet search using OpenAPI.

I also found this discussion on a blog post about using news readers. The internet Directory now parses and indexes rss feeds.

I’ve also been working on Eternal Eclipse game, GunStopperDrone game, and CodeFrog.

Fixing a couple of GitHub bugs in one shot with CodeFrog and AugmentCode

CodeFrog allows import of GitHub issues and export to a task manager list which AugmentCode can use to fix all the bugs.

Earlier today I went to see Thomas the Tank Engine in Strasburg, PA with my nephew and he loved it.

CodeFrog app in development. If interested in the app, email andy@greenrobot.com.

Trump took my idea about H1-B

I posted about wanting a job and H1-B on the 12th of September. Soon after Trump made his move on immigrant visas.

Demo of fixing a bug on Android, then running the fixed app, all on mobile

I submitted this video to Ycombinator and thought I’d share it here. I add menu items to the hamburger menu with ai, then build and run the updated app in less than 3 minutes, all on Android.
