wrote an OSS `Dory` using golang, this for similar self-hosted use-case a while back https://github.com/abhishekkr/dory * this is a secret sharing service for masses, where you don't need to be authenticated at service to store and share secret * anyone with access to service can upload a secret and share the token with people they wanna share it * if accessed without an explicit retention parameter, the secret gets…

Very nice. I love your Dory mascot!

Pretty old idea. I'd go for compliance and tested https://privnote.com/

Didn't know it existed when I made https://instapass.io privnote looks nice and I would definitely use it before I made my own service. I am planning to add more features that hopefully will be useful for you guys.

Cool product. Regarding paid service you write: > If you already like this service, I am sure you will love the next version! The next version will include paid features, but signing up now you will get two months of premium features once they are ready. By signing up you also accept I will send you occasional emails when new stuff happens, such as premium features. I will never sell nor give your email to anyone, an…

Thanks bko! You're signing up for newsletter and get's notified when there's a version 2.0 and also get 2 months paid.

Great suggestion, I'll rephrase it.

It seems like this is relying on the server to delete the message when accessed? I made a pastebin years ago that does similar using an anchor tag for the key, except it doesn’t guarantee deletion. https://paste.sh I’ve been thinking about making it more secure using service workers (something like a service worker combined with resource signing, so it can be cached in browsers and people have to explicitly “upgrade”…

Yep. Right now I just override any message securely. I was thinking of doing something like having all the messages in memory and just wipe the memory there, but the problem with that approach is I can't tell people if it expired and thus you can't see if people eavesdrop.

Woa https://paste.sh is awesome. I love it. Super minimalistic. I wouldn't use it for sharing passwords, but using it for sharing notes and permanent things could be pretty nice. Right now I use Google Docs and hackmd, but they are not encrypting stuff. How does it work with multiple users online?

What's wrong with this trusted-third-party type of services (where neither you nor service provider cannot prove your data can't be used maliciously) is that people get used to them (because "time and complexity"). And then malicious actors start asking email on signup and harvesting passwords.

I am not following, could you elaborate a bit more?
