This appears to generate the wallet in your browser, so the key is never sent over HTTP.

That said, I still have difficulty trusting hobby crypto.

That's true, but the code that generates the wallet is still sent over HTTP, so there is an opportunity for an attacker to insert malicious code. It would be a lot better if this was served over HTTPS, but then you still need to trust the author.

You can still download the code (as ZIP archive from github) and run it locally.
