Slightly off-topic, but I’ve been searching for a long time for something like this, but for text chat: go to a website; create a room; share a code/link with others; people join and chat; then at some point in the future the room simply disappears (you can save a log if you want). Ideally anonymous with the best possible cryptographic implementation. Has anyone stumbled upon something similar? I hate having to regis…

Do some Phoenix tutorials and you have your own.

I think https://call.element.io/ works like that. Calls are encrypted and the client includes screen sharing and all the standard video conferencing features.

Jitsi Meet is also a classic example of this, though these days it requires at least one logged-in "moderator" user to work.

I built exactly what you’re describing: https://chitchatter.im/

It’s decentralized, serverless, anonymous, private, ephemeral, and open source.

You could easily build one using Yjs [1]. I'm using it for my work together website [2] (it has a chat).

Great! Thanks. While we're on the subject of WebRTC, if anyone would need MIDI over WebRTC, here is my take on it: https://github.com/AtmanActive/webmidi-rtc-transport

Perfect timing! Seems to suit (some of) my needs, thanks. And +1 for mentioning sonobus - that's a lot of fun, too.

What I love about developing with cursor et al is it forces devs to keep the app simple.

No custom UI bloat when shadcn will do; no feature creep when the outline is fulfilled.

Simple apps < 30,000 LOC means cursor can keep the code base in the context window, so its generations stay high quality.

Browser-based screen sharing is the subject. Is it normal to advertise unrelated projects in HN comments?
