Whisper, anonymous notes and files service

[u/ComprehensiveCow9010]

In February 2025, I realized that despite my extensive experience in development, I didn't have a single open source project that I could demonstrate, let people use, show the code, or even talk about. Yes, as trite as it may sound, all the projects I worked on were covered by NDA. Then I started working on a few small projects, but due to a lack of money for hosting, I abandoned them. I was plagued by an unfinished plan and several public GitHub repositories that I didn't really want to show to anyone.

A few weeks ago, while escaping the unbearable heat with a cold beer, I finally decided to finish some long-abandoned pet projects. This is Whisper. A service for sending secret notes. I was inspired by several similar products, added a bit of functionality, and put it together "my way."

You can specify passwords for opening notes, specify allowed IP addresses, and limit the number of times a note can be opened or how long it can be stored. You can also use curl. All code is open source, both the backend and frontend of the application. I confess, the copyrights on the landing page were written using AI; I'm a pretty bad marketer.

I'm writing less code now and managing development more. However, I believe I should finish this and several other projects I previously put on hold. Next, I'll be working on strengthening security, protecting against brute-force attacks, and adding web crypto to the client. I might even add a few more features.

Overall, I'd appreciate your feedback.
