Hey HN!

I built this so you can easily create self-deleting blog posts, which can be easily shared in your whatsapp/messaging groups. This is useful when you don't want to directly post walls of text, and want others to be able to easily share what you posted to their other groups.

You might want to include a basic "report" button, since free image + text can get some skeevy stuff.

very, very true.

this approach to social software has proven consistently destructive across multiple platforms.

Snapchat had a ton of underage nudes. 4chan's been a magnet for hate speech.

I miss the anonymity of the early, 1990s WWW, but that was the playful anonymity of a much smaller group of people. it was a self-selecting group with a lot less of these problems at the time.

what kind of use cases did you have in mind, OP?

After you post, how do you read it on the site? How do you read things others have posted? Am I just dumb?

EDIT: Oh. I should've copied the link to the post. I guess it's gone forever. Geez Louise. I am not a smart man.

I just made a duplicate post since I lost the first one. https://anon.sharehub.live/post/ckmy1ef6w000315legil44c2u/Le...

How do you find other people's posts?

I love the idea !!! Not sure when i'd use it but non the less i think it's awesome.

I'd say that users that would want this feature would also like some sense of "security" that the post is actually deleted. there is no sense of that.

another 2 cents :) How about letting us decide when it gets deleted rather than the magic 7 days?
