Ask HN: Is it possible to code a self-destructing message?
Like in Mission Impossible, except in software. How could this be done, in the browser?

Generate a unique ID for the message. Once the page has loaded using the unique ID, pull message from database, display and remove appropriate database entry.
If the page is reloaded the message will no longer exist in the database and throw an error.

This is cool. Is there a service for this already? Maybe I'll make one.
