AsYouType: Live Typing Chat

AsYouType is a messenger built around one idea: you see the words as they are typed. The other person's sentence appears character by character — the pauses, the corrections, the thought they started and deleted. Nothing waits to be "sent", and no "typing..." dots stand in for the text. NO ACCOUNTS No phone number, no email, no password. On first launch your phone generates a key, and that key is your identity. Nobody can restore it, including us. HOW PEOPLE FIND YOU Two ways, both optional. Claim a handle and tell it to someone, or publish one line about yourself in the People feed. One line — no photos, no age, no location. Either way the other person sends a request and you decide whether to accept. Do neither and you cannot be found at all. THE TIMER RUNS WHILE YOU LOOK Every message carries a timer — 30 seconds, a minute or five. It counts down only while the message is actually on someone's screen, so a message written to someone who is away does not burn out before they read it. It disappears from both phones once each of you has seen it. WRITE ANY TIME If the other person is in the app, your text appears live as you type. If they are not, the message waits in an encrypted mailbox and is deleted from the server the moment they open the conversation. END-TO-END ENCRYPTED X25519 key agreement, HKDF-SHA256, AES-GCM. Conversation keys are new on every entry and live in memory. Compare the safety code out loud to be sure nobody is in between. NO ARCHIVE Conversations are kept encrypted on your own device only until they burn out. There is nothing to scroll back through, and nothing to hand over. Reporting and blocking are one tap away on every post and every contact. Try the built-in demo conversation first — it shows what live typing looks like without a second phone.
