Weekend project in response to findhisporn.com
After seeing the ReadWriteWeb article on findhisporn.com (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/find_his_porn_evil_website_of_the_week.php), my instant reaction was to build something to counter that. I spent the weekend building the app, but had to wait another week to get my payment system set up. The site is http://www.hideyourporn.net/ (completely safe for work site) as well as a more generic http://www.personallocker.net/ which is what the app is branded at. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated - just keep in mind - HN is obviously not my target audience.
Weekend project in response to findhisporn.com launched on December 14, 2011 with 17 votes, #36 of 254 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.
In plain words
PersonalLocker is a file storage application designed to keep private files hidden and secure. Created in response to privacy concerns raised by similar websites, it allows users to password-protect sensitive personal content. The service is available under the PersonalLocker branding with a specialized version for specific use cases. The application was developed quickly as a weekend project and includes a payment system for premium features.
