I'm always nervous to post online (this is my very first HN post), so I built an anonymous forum where posts are automatically deleted after 24 hours. Every upvote or comment resets the clock.
Some things I like about this concept:
- The sheer volume of information on the internet is overwhelming - disappearing.chat keeps that volume low
- Unpopular content slowly fades away, so you can visually watch bad takes disappear
- Content is always fresh because even popular things will eventually stop getting interaction
- Takes the pressure off that your content is going to stick around forever
fwiw this just started as a toy project to play around with the Next.js app directory, Tailwind and deploying to Vercel, but I figured I'd get it fully functional and share it.
