CloakChat - Anonymous Messaging App 💬
Ever wanted to chat without leaving a trace? That's what I built!CloakChat lets people message anonymously - no signups, no tracking, just secure conversations.
What it does:
- Jump in and chat instantly (no accounts!)
- Real-time messaging with WebSockets
- Complete privacy - no data collection
- Clean, simple interface
Built v1 with FastAPI + ReactJS. Already planning v2 with encryption and disappearing messages! 🚀
Tech: FastAPI • ReactJS • WebSockets • Docker
Check it out: https://github.com/zakinabdul/CloackChat
Love building real-time apps and privacy tools. Open to cool projects if you need help with APIs or secure communication!

Hi everyone, I’m Dani from Innsbruck, Austria.
I’m a senior full-stack developer and technical consultant with experience in C#/.NET, PHP/Laravel/Symfony, TypeScript/Angular, APIs, SQL, e-commerce and AI integrations.
I enjoy turning business requirements into reliable applications, integrations and practical AI-assisted workflows. I’m currently available for remote freelance collaborations and happy to connect with other builders, founders and teams here on Contra.
Nice to meet you!

Nice!
A WhatsApp chatbot that automates tasks is NOT the same as a custom-built web application.
And honestly, I’ve noticed how much people love AI-powered WhatsApp bots lately.
As someone who develops AI workflows and custom websites, I personally believe that combining a well-built web application with AI puts you one step ahead.
Imagine having a custom interface, your own database, automated workflows, and an AI agent working together in one place.
That’s a completely different level of flexibility.
Don’t get me wrong: WhatsApp bots aren’t always the inferior option. They’re great for customer-facing interactions and quick communication.
But personally? I’d rather give customers a dedicated web experience whenever the project calls for it.
Are you Team WhatsApp Bot or Team Web Bot?
When the web app and the bot share one database, which side owns the conversation state: the n8n workflow or the app? That choice seems to decide whether a customer can switch between WhatsApp and the web view mid-request.
📥 I BUILT MY OWN PRODUCT - HUSH! because small businesses lose clients in their DMs :)
Here’s the pattern I kept seeing:
→ The admin answers from a personal phone. When they leave, the chat history leaves with them 📱
→ An Instagram message arrives at 9pm, gets noticed the next day, and the client has already gone to a competitor 🌙
→ Nobody knows if a client got a reply, because everyone assumes a colleague did it 🤷
Hush Inbox puts Telegram, WhatsApp, and Instagram into one shared inbox. You assign each chat to someone, leave internal notes the client never sees, and save quick replies for “how much?”, “where are you?”, and “any slots Saturday?” ⚡
It runs in the browser, so there’s nothing to install. The data sits on EU servers, and the conversations belong to the company, not to individual employees. 🇪🇺
I build products for founders, and this one comes from the same rule I give them: solve one painful, boring problem really well. 🎯
If your clients write to you in messengers, tell me where you’re losing them 👇

Hush Inbox — усі повідомлення клієнтів в одному вікні
Telegram, WhatsApp та Instagram в одному вікні для всієї команди: жодне повідомлення клієнта не загубиться.
The internal notes the client never sees plus per-chat assignment is the part that solves the 'everyone assumes a colleague replied' problem. For the 9pm Instagram message case, do you send an automatic acknowledgement or flag the chat to whoever opens the inbox first?
