Temp Clipboard — Share Anything, Instantly.
A self-destructing web clipboard. Drop text or images, lock it with a password, retrieve it on any device — all within 10 minutes.
The idea was simple: I was tired of emailing files to myself or struggling to move a copied text from my phone to my laptop. So I built something better — a temporary clipboard that lives on the web, protected by a password, and disappears on its own.

The Problem
Moving content between devices is surprisingly annoying. Bluetooth is clunky, email feels heavy, AirDrop only works in Apple ecosystems. I wanted something that worked universally — just open a browser and go.
How It Works
The user uploads text or an image on one device, sets a 4-digit password, and gets a shareable code. On the other device, they visit the site, enter the password, and retrieve the content. After 10 minutes, Firebase automatically deletes the record — no cleanup needed.
What I Learned
This project taught me how to work with Firebase Storage for image handling, set TTL-based auto-deletion on Firestore documents, and think about UX from a real use-case perspective rather than just building for the sake of it.
