I built an anonymous chat system where accounts delete themselves in 24 hours. Would you use something like this?

Startup help

I’ve been experimenting with a privacy-first chat concept.

Instead of email or phone signup, users get a temporary ID and can start chatting instantly. No personal info required.

Some interesting things I added:

• Temporary accounts that auto-delete after 24 hours

• Anonymous chat tokens instead of usernames

• Self-destruct mode for chats with custom timers

• Invite links that can automatically create accounts and join groups

• Option to pause or permanently keep the account

The idea was to explore how anonymous communication could work without collecting user data.

I’m curious what founders and developers think about this model.

Would people actually use something like this?

What potential problems do you see?
