GitHub - greatsk55/BLIP: BLIP is an ephemeral chat room that exists only for the moment it’s needed. Talk freely, then disappear

BLIP

Talk. Then vanish.

BLIP is an ephemeral chat service that leaves no trace. No accounts. No history. No profiles. Start with a single link, and when it's over, everything disappears.

"This conversation doesn't need to be saved." — Built for exactly those moments.

Why BLIP?

Every messenger today keeps too much. Accounts, friend lists, chat logs, notifications... But most conversations in life are just quick talks that don't need to last.

Traditional Messengers	BLIP
Account required	No accounts
Chat history stored forever	Zero history — unrecoverable
Need to add friends	Join instantly via link
Data stored on servers	No server storage, E2E encrypted

Core Concept

Zero setup — Start instantly with a single link
Zero persistence — Unrecoverable after it ends
Zero identity — No accounts, friends, or profiles
100% consent-based — Exists only while all parties agree
Auto-shred — Only the last few messages remain visible; older ones are destroyed in real time
Capture guard — Screenshot and screen-recording attempts are detected and messages are blurred instantly

How It Works

1. Create a room  →  One button press
2. Share the link  →  Send it to anyone
3. Chat            →  Real-time E2E encrypted messaging
4. Done            →  All data instantly destroyed

Use Cases

"Quick chat, then blow up the room"
"Strategy meeting, then erase all traces"
"One link, instant gathering"
Game party coordination, event staff comms, one-time sensitive conversations

Philosophy

BLIP is not a messenger. It's a disposable communication tool.

It doesn't exist to keep people engaged. It exists to remove friction, talk, and disappear.

Non-goals

This service intentionally does NOT do the following:

~~Friend requests~~
~~Chat history~~
~~User profiles~~
~~Conversation archives~~
~~Social features~~

We never sacrifice philosophy for convenience.

Tech Stack

WebSocket-based real-time communication
End-to-End Encryption (E2E — Curve25519 ECDH + XSalsa20-Poly1305)
Server acts only as a relay
On room close: unrecoverable on both server and client
Auto-shred: messages beyond the visible window are destroyed with blob URLs released
Capture protection: visibility change, keyboard shortcut, and context-menu detection
