Pondchat is a quiet video pond for small groups. Create a room, share a pondchat.com link, and guests join when they're ready — no signup, no downloads, no ringing. Media travels peer-to-peer over WebRTC; the server only relays signaling. Chat is AES-GCM encrypted in the browser and wiped when the pond empties. Also in Telegram and as a Chrome side panel.
