It’s a neat idea but it still requires hosting and for the vast unwashed masses who don’t want to buy a domain and setup hosting for this stuff at the end of the day I fear this would be Facebook with extra steps.
I did build it a little extra tall so stray rays are not at eye level. The direct beam is broken up a bit at the top but you wouldn’t want to point it directly at people. So far nobody has been blinded, only lightly dazzled.
Ditto can do all of this though preventing passwords and credit card info would be tricky, there’s room for scripting and regex in advanced options. github.com/sabrogden/Ditto
