an online platform where users can anonymously share messages visible to the public for a limited time. Inspired by platforms like 'This Website Will Self Destruct', our goal is to provide a space for people to express thoughts, ideas, or messages without the permanence and traceability of traditional social media. Messages automatically vanish after a set time, offering a distinct and fleeting interaction experience.
- Anonymous Posting: Users can post messages without having to register or provide any personal information.
- Time-Limited Visibility: Each message will have a countdown timer, and once the time runs out, the message will automatically be deleted from the platform.
- Randomized Feed: Messages will appear in a randomized order to each visitor, ensuring that every user experience is unique. Tech Stack:
- Frontend: ReactJS for building the user interface.
- Backend: Node.js with Express.js for handling server-side logic.
- Database: MongoDB for storing message data and other relevant information.
- Hosting: Vultr
