Hi HN, I just released Anonat, a Deno Fresh app for spinning up disposable, end-to-end encrypted chat rooms. Each
room lives at a random eight-character URL, you can add an optional shared password, and all messages/files are
encrypted in the browser with AES-GCM before they ever touch the server. We persist ciphertext in Deno KV only
while a room is active; one minute after the last participant disconnects, the data vanishes.
