Essentially, I’m looking for self-destructing messages. I grab a link, I send it to a family member, they read the information, it’s gone after they read it, and all they need to have to interact with it is the original link to the url.
Are there any foss solutions by which to just type out a message, send a link to someone and have it be deleted after they read it?
I developed e2epaste.xyz a while back that is capable of this.
You can set the number of views, after which the paste is permanently deleted. It’s fully end to end encrypted, and the server has no way of knowing the contents of pastes.
Nothing made with purely HTML would be capable of this.
I think I’ve seen some things like that, but you can never stop them from taking a screen shot, with a camera if necessary.
I mean that’s pretty easy to build yourself. You can write a super simple web app and on get it displays a message then deletes it from database.
I think CryptPad has delete-after-view.

Not sure what you mean by html based. Do you mean web based?
Does this fit your needs?
