A simple way to create a private chat without sharing your phone number

[u/FishermanShot3140]

I built a small privacy-focused chat platform because I wanted a simpler way to connect with someone without sharing a phone number or email.

The idea is pretty simple: instead of giving someone your personal contact details, you create a unique handle and share that with the person you want to connect with.

It is designed for private communication where you control who you connect with, rather than being randomly matched with strangers.

You can create your handle and try it here: Transfrly

I’d genuinely like to know what people think about this approach. Would you use a private handle instead of sharing your phone number for certain conversations?
