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 register and login to every chat platform, especially bloated ones like Discord and Slack. The closest one to what I want is gitter but it requires a GitHub signin.

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

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

Looks great, will try!

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

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.

Mine is a work in progress, but chat should work just fine. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns.

click create space -> choose proceed as anonymous -> In your space, use chat or other apps. It's end to end encrypted (using the hash-frag in url as key, AES-128 bit GCM)

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

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.

Jitsi Meet?

Do some Phoenix tutorials and you have your own.
