How about a chat to tell each other our worst secrets? But how? Since everything is logged, spied on, analyzed...etc.
Well, a small open source application to host yourself exists and allows to communicate by writing in peer to peer in an encrypted way, without passing the messages through a server. All this without storing messages and in a totally decentralized way.
What a dream!
Its name: Chitchatter!
Inspired by the late Cryptocat, the tool relies on public web servers for the initial connection of participants. And when P2P is not possible, it bounces on Open Relay.
Chitchatter is currently in the prototype stage and is still very basic in terms of functionality. A username is automatically generated and you can customize the chatroom name and that's about all that can be done. In the future, it is planned to add options for video conferencing and file sharing (among others).
In short, something to improvise ephemeral discussions without legal consequences.
You can find the sources on Github and you can test it directly here.
