The Screenshot-Proof mechanism is clever: showing just one line at a time, never displaying the author name alongside the text. It might be the only serious approach to actually achieving the premise.

Curious if a web interface is coming—some of the value prop seems like a better fit there, since it wouldn't require the recipient to install an app.

Point some sort of video recorder (like another phone) at the screen then.

Tedious to then stitch frames together into one image to share it on Twitter or whatever (or just post the video, everything’s video now because everything sucks).
