TrashTalk.me

Every message you send, every file you share — it all lives somewhere. In your chat history, on a server in a data center, in a backup you forgot about. We’ve become accustomed to our digital lives being recorded by default. I wanted to challenge that. I wanted a way to have a quick, private conversation online with the same finality as a whispered secret. A digital equivalent of a note that you burn after reading. This led me to create TrashTalk.me, a free web app built on a simple, powerful idea: your conversation should never have happened. What is TrashTalk.me? TrashTalk.me is a…

What it does

I built a simple, anonymous, and secure web chat. You click one button, get a private link, share it with one person, and the entire chat is permanently destroyed the moment one of you leaves. No sign-ups, no logs, no history. P2P, file transfer included.

    I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights▲1,539

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

  • Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform▲827

    I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
