Flashpaper was announced on Hacker News as a new web service for secret sharing.
It encrypts data client‑side before transmission. The encrypted payload is
stored as a URL fragment, eliminating server‑side storage. Recipients can
retrieve the secret using the link, after which it self‑destructs. Because no
database is used, the service reduces risk of data breaches. The design relies
on modern browsers' cryptographic APIs. Users are encouraged to test the tool
for one‑time confidential exchanges. The project’s source code is available for
review on its website.
