410 is a disposable chat for two people. Create a one-time link, send it to someone, talk, and when the conversation ends, it’s gone. No accounts, usernames, app installs, contact lists, or permanent chat history. A conversation can last up to 30 minutes. When it ends, the room is destroyed and its URL returns HTTP 410 Gone.
I built 410 around a very simple question:
Do we always need to exchange permanent contact information just because we want to talk to someone for a few minutes?
Most communication tools are designed to create something persistent — an account, a username, a contact, a chat history, a connection that remains available afterward.
I wanted to try the opposite.
With 410, you create a link, send it to one person, have a conversation, and when it ends, the connection disappears with it.
The idea I’m trying to explore is “temporary contact” rather than another messenger.
Maybe you met someone in a forum, a marketplace, a comment section, a community, or somewhere else online. You want to talk directly, but you don’t necessarily want to exchange Telegram usernames, phone numbers, emails, or create a permanent way to reach each other.
I don’t know yet how useful that idea is outside of my own head — and that’s really why I’m launching 410 here.
I’d love to know whether you can imagine using something like this, what situations you would use it for, or whether you think the whole premise is unnecessary.
The product is intentionally very small:
create → share → talk → destroy → 410 Gone
