CloakBin

Web Development · 2024

Project overview

A secure platform for sharing text and code snippets with a focus on privacy and anonymity, built as a more secure alternative to traditional pastebin services, with end-to-end encryption and automatic expiration of shared content.

The application features a clean, minimalist interface that puts the content front and centre. Paste text or code, set an expiration time, and generate a secure link to share. All data is encrypted in the browser before being sent to the server, so even the server administrators cannot access the original content.

Behind it is a Node.js server with MongoDB for storage, with careful attention to security best practices and data sanitisation. The system automatically purges expired content, leaving no trace of the shared data once it has reached its expiration time. On top of that sit syntax highlighting across more than 100 programming languages, short URL generation, and a built-in AI chatbot. It is deployed on Vercel behind a custom domain.
