Products that do what Mnemonic ephemeral messaging from the command line does
It's similar to pastebin, but everything is encrypted/decrypted client-side using bip39 mnemonic phrases. Instead of sharing a deeplink to share a file, you can share the mnemonic.

I thought it would be great to share code snippets without saving them on a server, so I created http://mem.pe It allows you to paste code and save it in your browser's local storage. When you share the URL of the pasted code, other people will connect to it via web sockets. For example, this http://mem.pe/#sge/5 you will be pulling from my browser. I'll keep it open for a while. If you close the web app, your code paste will not be available for anyone to see, until you open the web app again. This is obviously, not suitable for using at forums and other places…

Hi HN! I built hidetext.sh — a way to share text, code, and files through links the server can't read. How it works: your browser generates a random key and encrypts everything locally (NaCl secretbox, XSalsa20-Poly1305). Only ciphertext is uploaded. The key goes into the URL fragment — the part after # — which browsers never send to servers. The link carries the key, my server stores the locked box, and the two only meet in a browser. A design detail I'm fairly happy with: burn-after-read doesn't destroy the paste on the first HTTP request. The naive version means a Slack or iMessage link…
