Private (non-advertised) archives #92
Description
Problem
Sometimes I want to share archives with certain people when I'm offline, but I don't want other people to know about these archives.
At the moment when you view a user's profile on the Hashbase site you see all his activity, and all his archives:
I want to mark archives as 'non-advertised' or 'non-discoverable'.
I can still give the Hashbase URL (https:// or dat://) to other people.
In other words for some archives I only want the reliability part of Reliability and discovery! ™
Concrete use cases
- Collaborating on academic papers during the pre-publication phase
- Sharing photos or videos with family & friends
- Semi-private blogs/social media feeds
Two potential variations on this feature, increasing in levels of privacy
- Don't show the archive or activity relating to it on the profile page, but still serve it on a subdomain over
https://anddat:// - In addition, don't serve the archive on a subdomain - neither
dat://orhttps://- but only via the rawdat://<hash>URL (to prevent leaks via DNS)

Yeah @taravancil has been asking for this for a while. I'm +1, we'll add it to our roadmap

You will need to clarify somewhere your policy for technical support when a user needs to share an archive with a support person for the purpose of debugging. That support person may need to look at files on hashbase, but should be bound by an agreement that they may not disclose any information about private user content, or retain any user content on any device after the ticket is closed.
