MOSSLET Blog Posts
Our latest blog post about how our Unlock Session feature works, similar in experience to a password manager:
What I was encountering before this feature was that the remember me cookie would still be valid but the person’s session_key would no longer exist, causing a poor experience when someone is routed to an authenticated page but is unable to unlock anything from their account.
One solution was to simply redirect to a full login again, but that felt tedious and not “authentic” since the remember me cookie was still valid → making it seem like the “Remember me for 60 days” feature simply didn’t do anything.
It took far too long for me to become aware of this situation, but I eventually did, and our solution was to simply require a password-only reentry similar to your favorite password manager.
This blog also, finally, marks a turning point where I have begun to add/update the open-graph images for each blog post making it more sharing friendly. Cheers and happy holidays to everyone, hope you’re able to spend time with your loved ones. ![]()

Following up from the Conversations note back in March — we just finished migrating the majority of Mosslet to be zero-knowledge post-quantum encrypted like Metamorphic (except Mosslet uses Cat-5). ![]()
Posts, replies, groups, journals, profile fields, registration — all of it is now zero-knowledge browser-side, with hybrid ML-KEM-1024 + X25519 sealing. Four phases, four audits, ~230 server-side decrypt sites reviewed. I wrote the whole story up on dev.to including the honest edges (~102 server-side decrypts that remain, what they are, and why):
Building the World’s First Post-Quantum Zero-Knowledge Social Network: A Phased Migration Story
AFAIK it’s the world’s first running in production with customers so I have been running with that headline for now
. Happy to answer Elixir/Phoenix-specific questions here if anyone’s curious about anything ![]()
