What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Encrypt stored passwords in a password manager before sending them to a server.

USE CASE 2

Encrypt chat messages on the client side so the server never sees the plain text.

USE CASE 3

Hash or Base64-encode data directly from Angular.js code without pulling in separate crypto libraries.
