Hi HN, I built Mephisto because I was frustrated with the current state of disposable email services—most are riddled with intrusive ads, trackers, and captchas. I wanted a tool that felt like a proper developer utility rather than a spam farm. The stack is React, Vite, and Tailwind. Key architectural decisions: 1. Volatile Memory: The backend writes nothing to disk. Once a session terminates, the data is irretrievable. 2.

Hey HN! I got nerd-sniped by Bloom Filters this weekend, specifically for searching datasets with high "cardinality" (number of unique items). They're an _amazing_ data structure that, at a fixed size, tracks potential set membership. That means unlike normal b-tree indexes, they don't grow with the number of unique items in the dataset. This makes them great for "needle in a haystack" search (logs, document) as implementations like VictoriaMetrics and Bing's BitFunnel show.
