Really excited for this launch! We have spend a lot of time polishing this one and I'm really looking forward to everyones feedback. We built this tool as part of our JustShipped initiative to build 52 project in 2020, we would love it if you came and checked out what else we are working on over at http://justshipped.io If you have any questions or comments or just want to say hello, please by all means do!

@cody_mikol found a little typo: when enabling the 2factor-verification, you use the word "before" two times consecutively.

This is brilliant, I use similar sites in the past, but because of our workflow, I never know who would look at the link first. The SMS 2FA is a great solution. I appreciate this comes at a cost to you, but would you consider other countries for SMS or some sort of account where we could connect our own Twilio?

@michael_jankie Hi Michael. Thanks for this feedback, it's really helpful. We'd definitely like to find a way to open it up to more countries, especially if there is strong interest. Our initial focus was on shipping something and seeing if people would use it. We also wanted to keep the product as simple as possible initially, not even requiring an account to use it. I'd encourage you to subscribe to the Just Shipped newsletter on justshipped.io for future updates on this.

Works like a charm... Does what it says and my grandmother-in-law can use it, we just tested it out -- she's in the Philippines and I'm in Spain. Granted there's a risk-factor difference between asking her when she's available to talk and giving her access to my bank account. To that end, is your product open-source and running on open hardware?

For some reason, the service won't generate any link with 2FA enabled. I'm using a Canadian number that can receive texts. Known issue?

Hi! Good visual!) I think you can improve this project by prohibiting taking screenshots. If possible

@daria13 Hey Daria, thanks for checking out our project. Unfortunately this is not something that is possible. Once you share a secret with someone there is no way to control what that person does with that information. You should only send these messages to people you trust with the information contained.

Very cool! I built something extremely similar, but far less elegant, a couple of years ago. My primary goal was to make it clear from the interface that there was no way for the server to see your plaintext payload, because so many similar services I found had no such guarantee. I also use URL fragments to share passwords (so that the server cannot decrypt) and SMS (or email) as a second factor auth. The trickiest part I've found is with bringing together the two parts of the 2FA without it feeling clunky. Site: https://basicshare.io Source: https://github.com/joshmcgrath08...

This was actually the first prototype for Secret.ly. It didn't work mainly because people started using it as a harassment tool and women were starting to receive super creepy messages... Good luck tho! :)
