Hello Product Hunters and friends!👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
It’s been a while since we shared anything on here. So today we decided to share a tiny little website we built during our team retreat in 24 hours. Before we get into our product, a bit about us. We’re a two person team (Basile Samel and Joel Benjamin) running a little product studio called Layover where we work with other startups providing our design, dev and content services and on the side we build little products like Chirp.
Chirp.lol is a website to send anonymous emails to anyone in your contacts. Whether you want to confess your feelings to your crush, say something funny, or simply appreciate someone because they mean a lot to you while keeping your identity a secret.
The world we live in right now is very grim and sad and we think it could use a little bit of positivity. The core idea behind Chirp is to spread positivity, kindness and have an element of surprise. It’s all about making peoples day brighter!
Chirp is a very simple website with only one functionality and that is to send anonymous messages via email. But here’s what we support right now.
🫢Anonymous - When you send a message through Chirp, the email to the recipient is sent through one of our email addresses. And our website is also encrypted with SSL so nothing can be decrypted in transit and we don't have a database to store anything. So you’re identity will always remain a secret.
📩One-Way Communication - People you send messages to can’t reply back to you. So they have no way of knowing it’s you unless you tell them explicitly.
😤 Anti-spam - Our UI makes it impossible to send spam or anything except plain text. This greatly prevents attack vectors compared to traditional anonymous email services allowing HTML.
And last but not the least, in the words of the great ChatGPT
"Chirp.lol is not just an anonymous email service; it's a catalyst for candid conversations, a bridge for unspoken words, and a quirky tool for enhancing your relationships. Let's make communication fun and mysterious!"
@iamnottheway I guess, it won't end up in spam folder because most of the email domains will be included as a spam email if more people start to spam it.
And does it show a read receipt since we are emailing anonymous? 😊
@iamnottheway lol. But really, it got me thinking, and even if I could not think of any more use cases, I'm sure there is one out there that could make it really valuable.
