Looking for an web-based secure message service

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’m aware that Nextcloud has the ability to share links to users who don’t have accounts for temporary spans of time, that’s… similar, but I don’t believe it can instantly disable after the first visit.

Not sure what you mean by html based. Do you mean web based?

Does this fit your needs?

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.

Edit: yes, it has

Nothing made with purely HTML would be capable of this.

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.

I know you mentioned Nextcloud and if you happen to already be running it you can use the add-on/module/whatever called Secrets, its exactly what you describe. You make note, send link (can password protect if you want) and once its been viewed its gone.

If you don’t already have Nextcloud, check out vaultwarden’s (bitwarden) send feature.
