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…

I built exactly what you’re describing: https://chitchatter.im/ It’s decentralized, serverless, anonymous, private, ephemeral, and open source.

Looks great, will try!

Gave it a quick run! Works great. The notification to share your screen goes away quickly. Is there any way to get back to it? I generated a new code to fire the notification again.

I just fixed that, the share button should stay forever now until you click it.

I'm not sure, but is it possible to make it work on Android? I've tried on my pixel 7a, it gave me the code, I pasted it in another device in Safari, but it was only Loading... on the button.

Yeah, it's not working that well on phones right now, working on it...

Immediately upon loading the homepage: > Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

I guess you visited the page right after a new deployment. This happens sometimes due to a version mismatch in Next.js after deployment. Refreshing the page should fix it!

Awesome, thanks for checking it out! Let me know what you think. :)

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

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

I don't know. Is it?

The afore mentioned webapp is based on WebRTC so, not totally unrelated.

I have nothing to advertise as I have nothing to gain from this. I just wanted to offer additional solution for people that might find it useful.

Also, judging by the other comments, it seems that someone did find it useful.

Furthermore, reading through other comments on this thread, there are a lot of other WebRTC projects mentions anyway, and many of them have nothing to do with screen sharing.

The reason why this doesn't usually exist is because anonymous text sharing is almost immediately taken over by people using it to do crimes. So be aware of that.
