dead-drop
Ephemeral zero-knowledge encrypted drops over a keyless API
dead-drop hands out self-destructing, client-encrypted data drops that the server never sees in plaintext. Keyless GET routes mint random drop names and report health, while creating or reading a drop runs through its documented terms-gated flow. Handy for one-time secret handoffs between machines or people.
