It's a terrific addition to the ecosystem. Please keep it up ;)
What sort of applications are you thinking of building using web browser cryptography? Besides the obvious scenarios around secure communications. And even the dream ideal of privacy preservation wherein all user data is encrypted and stored in local storage. And third party web apps don't send any unencrypted data home. I see tremendous potential in the consumer internet side. Particularly around payments, digital goods, live services, etc. Empowering ordinary folks to be able to run a personal "bank" right in their web browser is pretty exciting!

I also just gave a talk about this at POPL2019 in Lisbon. Slides are here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yuC_LvNuFbnhO3aASTQ8...
