Sample link: <a href="https://secretink.co/read/2atelv15n5hqip59416c7c3c0q" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;secretink.co&#x2F;read&#x2F;2atelv15n5hqip59416c7c3c0q</a><p>Why does it send the decryption key to the server (presuming the data is even actually encrypted server-side)? Just use the megaupload model, where you link to an address containing a #, and then client-side javascript to decrypt.<p>Is it perfectly secure? Of course not, but at least then this company itself can&#x27;t read them. Now there&#x27;s nothing NSA-resistent about it. Just NSL secretink.

I love how we are seeing the snapchat-ization and tinder-ization of everything. LA startup scene came out of nowhere!
