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.

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

Do some Phoenix tutorials and you have your own.

I think https://call.element.io/ 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.

I built exactly what you’re describing: https://chitchatter.im/ https://chitchatter.im/ It’s decentralized, serverless, anonymous, private, ephemeral, and open source.

You could easily build one using Yjs [1]. I'm using it for my work together website [2] (it has a chat). [1] https://github.com/yjs/yjs https://github.com/yjs/yjs [2] https://juntos.pages.dev/ https://juntos.pages.dev/

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.
