🔥 BAR Web - Burn After Reading

Mission Impossible-style file sharing that self-destructs 💣

Because some things are meant to disappear after you read them.

🎬 What Is This?

BAR Web is basically Snapchat for files, but with military-grade encryption and real teeth.

Upload → Encrypt → Share → POOF 💨 Gone forever.

Perfect for:

• 🤐 Sharing passwords without email trails
• 💼 Sending contracts that shouldn't stick around
• 🎁 One-time file shares
• 🕵️ Feeling like a secret agent on a Tuesday

✨ Key Features

• 🔒 AES-256 Encryption - Bank-level security
• 🔑 Zero-Knowledge - We literally can't read your files
• ⏱️ Auto-Destruct - Set timers or view limits
• 💾 Two Modes - Client-side (.bar file) or Server-side (link)
• 🔄 Smart Refresh Control - Stop refreshes from eating views OR force auto-reload
• 🔔 Webhooks - Get notified on Discord/Slack

🔐 How Secure Is It?

Encryption: AES-256 (same as banks & governments)
Key Derivation: PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations
Brute-Force Time: Longer than the age of the universe 🌌

Zero-Knowledge: We never store encryption keys. Without the password, your file is just expensive random noise.

Translation: Even if someone steals the server, hacks the database, or threatens us with strongly-worded emails - they still can't read your files.

� Client-Side vs 🌎 Server-Side

Client-Side (.bar file):

• ✅ Full control (you hold the file)
• ✅ Works offline
• ❌ No auto-destruct

Server-Side (Link):

• ✅ Auto-destruct timers
• ✅ Enforced view limits
• ✅ Webhook notifications
• ❌ Requires server trust
