I built an encrypted chat that stores nothing — no accounts, no history, no traces A few days ago, I saw someone in a KakaoTalk open chat room wishing they could have a private one-on-one conversation, but there was no such feature available. In that moment, an idea suddenly struck me — what if you could just share a link, chat easily, and then shred everything when you're done?

The urge to build it hit me immediately. But I didn't want to stop there. I started imagining something like a wartime walkie-talkie — a way to exchange secret conversations. During this process, I became convinced that the conversation between two people should absolutely never be hackable, and I began envisioning a pure chat service that stores nothing, anywhere.

Honestly, I don't 100% trust phrases like "thorough confidentiality guaranteed" or "user data is encrypted." So I believe that even if I built this service and said "we don't store any records," other people wouldn't trust that either. That's what pushed me to decide this had to be completely open source.

blip-blip.vercel.app is fully open source. https://github.com/greatsk55/BLIP

Sharing this right now is absolutely thrilling. I had so much fun building this over the past few days, and I really hope you all enjoy it too. Of course, even if you do enjoy it, I'll have no way of knowing how many of you do — because I'm not using any analytics tools either!

New features will be decided and developed based on GitHub issues and requests. I'd love to hear your feedback!
