Description
I built Burn Room — a self-hosted SSH chat server where messages burn after 1 hour and rooms auto-destruct after 24 hours. Nothing is written to disk. No account, no email, no browser required. ssh [email protected] -p 2323 password: burnroom Or connect from a browser (xterm.js web terminal): https://burnroom.chat

Yes An in-memory ephemeral SSH chat server can be implemented easily using Go (via `golang.org/x/crypto/ssh` or Charm's Wish) or Node.js, paired with an xterm.js web frontend.
