Secret Rooms
Ephemeral encrypted chat platform with self-destructing rooms, end-to-end encryption, and zero data retention
Project Overview
Secret Rooms is a privacy-focused ephemeral chat platform that prioritizes security and anonymity. Users can create temporary chat rooms that automatically self-destruct after a specified time or when all participants leave. The platform features end-to-end encryption using Web Crypto API, ensuring messages are never stored on servers. Built with React and Socket.io, it provides real-time messaging with optional WebRTC video chat, all while maintaining zero data retention policies.
