Show HN: Anonymous chat service with no registration or installation required

16 pointsby moigagooabout 1 year ago
Cannon is a chat service created to mimic physical conversions. Like in real life, there is no chat history or account setup.<p>If you want to test the service, feel free to message me: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.cannon-chat.online&#x2F;#&#x2F;newcontact?deviceId=neatly-blackened-liassaurus-4367&amp;displayName=moigagoo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.cannon-chat.online&#x2F;#&#x2F;newcontact?deviceId=neatly-...</a>

This is cool.<p>Presumably, your server stores a registry of Device IDs and IPs to route messages? What about replacing this with some sort of partitioned DHT to make it decentralized?<p>Also, the messages flow through your servers? Would it be possible to set up WebSocket connections between the users instead, and how would that compare from a security model perspective?<p>I don&#x27;t really know much about any of this, so I&#x27;m just asking out of curiosity.

Because your browser that doesn&#x27;t offer this capability. For example, Safari on iOS doesn&#x27;t support this feature.&quot;

Huh, cool way to offload your data storage costs onto push notification services

It works fairly well on Android but horribly on iOS because PWA support is very limited on iOS.
