ShadeChat - Minimalist anonymous chat for strangers, built with Cursor

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I want to be honest: my English is basic, so please forgive any mistakes 😄

I really missed the old internet — the Omegle days, where you could talk to a random stranger, no algorithms, no profiles, just simple text chat.

When Omegle shut down, I felt something was missing. So I built ShadeChat: an anonymous chat app with end-to-end encryption. Not even I can read your messages.

The interesting part: I had zero coding experience. I built this whole thing alone in just 3 days, using AI tools like Cursor.

What makes it different:

🔐 Real E2E encryption (TweetNaCl.js)

🌍 Match randomly, by country, or with strangers abroad

⚡ No sign-up — no email, no phone, nothing

🆓 100% free

I'd love your feedback — good or bad, I want to hear it 🙏

Thanks for checking it out!

The anonymity actually feels low-pressure in a good way, no signups or weird onboarding. Joined a room, typed something, got a reply within seconds from a stranger in another timezone.
