The URL the tool generates is very long. If you can't copy/paste, are you just retyping that URL by hand?

I built something similar but it wasn't intended as a clipboard. Mostly for anonymous chat but I personally ended up using it as a clip board. The difference. We don't persist anything on the server side, it's totally in memory and you can create new streams that have shorter ttls. Website: https://malten.xyz Source code: https://github.com/asim/malten

Very nice. At what point are items deleted? Obviously private data is up to the user, but what about privacy ie gdpr, and the general courtesy of deletion from your end?

Every message is deleted after 1024 seconds by default in any stream created on the fly by posting a message. New streams can be explicitly created with lower ttls that expire messages sooner. All streams cap at 1024 messages and are aged out like that if they persist longer than the ttl of the stream.

The interesting thing here is that an identity is represented by an image ("avatar"). Normally you can't get enough combinations with such a scheme and still produce a distinguishable image. Perhaps those long hex numbers shown in the screenshot also represent identity?

Another interesting thing here is that the RSA keys are 1024 bits long. It is fairly unlikely that some entity like the NSA is going to expend a Manhattan Project level of effort to get the messages of one individual (it would be cheaper to use other methods) but they in theory could. Most just make RSA keys 2048 bits long and accept the wild overkill.
