At the most intimate end of the privacy spectrum, we have **secret writing**. This is wholly private, wholly encrypted. You write something and no one else sees it—unless, and only unless, you choose to share it.
This domain — accessible through secret.fish — is like a secure attic or diary, where truly private material can be kept: health records, confidential planning documents, heartfelt letters to mentors or therapists, even ideas that might one day seed a business, but need to cook undisturbed.
We’re treating this domain with the seriousness it demands. Advanced peer-to-peer encryption, public-key cryptography, revocable keys, and storage that never touches the open internet.
Initially, we envision this material being kept at home — physically, safely stored behind a firewall on a Raspberry Pi or desktop machine. Gradually, users are onboarded, learning how to encrypt their work, how to share it with a trusted few.
Within secret.fish, there might be dialogues happening that no one outside a select group will ever know about. Imagine a well-known celebrity entering the project under a pseudonym, taking on a character in the Hitchhiker universe. They might even contribute anonymously—through AI voiceovers, perhaps—before eventually revealing themselves.
These interactions can remain under wraps for a year, six months, or even indefinitely. The idea isn’t to hide for the sake of secrecy—it’s about safety, timing, consent, and trust. When the time is right, the surprise can be revealed. But not before.
