Frequently Asked Questions

Practical answers about privacy, room ownership, expiring links, and how anonymous collaboration works in production.

Do I need an account to share code?

No. Every room is anonymous by default, and the first visitor becomes the temporary owner through a secure browser token.

How do private rooms work?

Private rooms ask for a password before entry. Passwords are hashed on the backend and room access attempts are rate limited.

Can I control how long a room stays alive?

Yes. New rooms default to 24 hours, and you can choose shorter windows like 1, 6, or 12 hours or set a custom duration.

What happens when nobody uses a room?

Inactive rooms are cleaned up automatically. MongoDB TTL handles hard expiry, and the backend keeps a separate inactivity deadline.
