&quot;Your chats were securely encrypted using SSL, messages will not be not stored on our servers, will not backed up. &quot;<p>Is this an intentional double negative?<p>A bit more technical info on how keys are generated and stored would be a good start to get people to trust the platform

Nice little idea and implementation. Since privacy&#x2F;security is a goal, it might make sense to dive into one or more of the following, even if they&#x27;re not on the main page:<p>- The tech behind the encryption&#x2F;privacy. One thing in particular is how is the &quot;my room&quot; feature being saved. I&#x27;m sure I could dig in myself but the average visitor may want to be assured that it&#x27;s saved locally only. EDIT: Hmm nevermind it seems the chatroom name isn&#x27;t being persisted. Could have sworn I left the main page and came back to the same chatroom but probably imagining things.<p>- How you intend to keep the site running over the long term, funding, etc. Assure visitors that your incentives align with visitors&#x27; over the long term as much as possible.<p>- Open sourcing would be another good trust signal.<p>I do like the XKCD-style chat room names. I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve seen that before. It&#x27;s usually random alpha-numeric. Also love the minimalism, single-use aspect of it.<p>Keep it up!
