Built an anonymous Secret Santa where the organizer can't peek — looking for honest feedback 🎁

Hey PH
Just launched my first product today Sotto.
Try it: https://sottogames.com
PH launch: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
Quick story: every Secret Santa app I've used (Elfster, MySanta, DrawNames) has the same flaw the organizer can always view assignments. Their "anonymous" gift exchange isn't actually anonymous.
So I built one where the architecture makes peeking impossible:
Server-side draws (Sattolo's algorithm + crypto randomness)
PIN-gated reveals (bcrypt hashed)
One-time view name burns away in 10 seconds
No accounts, no emails, no tracking
Even I can't see who got whom. That's the entire point.
What I'd love your honest feedback on:
Does the tear/burn reveal feel right or gimmicky?
Is the "no accounts" approach trust-inducing or sketchy?
Anything that feels off about the flow?
Roast it if it deserves it

Sotto - Anonymous Secret Santa where the host can't peek

Every "anonymous" Secret Santa app lets the organizer peek at assignments. Sotto doesn't. Server-side draws, PIN-gated reveals, sealed envelopes that burn 10 seconds after opening. No accounts. No emails. No tracking. Even we can't see who got whom — the architecture makes it impossible. Free forever. Built for crews who want real anonymity, not promises. Coming next: Secret Cupid, Secret Diwali, Secret Feedback. Sotto is a platform for anonymous group games. The secret stays secret.
