Contextual Privacy: Can something be private yet discoverable?

Hacker News

Hey everyone, Over the past few months, we’ve been exploring a new way to think about online privacy and social interactions. The concept we’re calling "contextual privacy" moves beyond the typical public vs. private divide. In real life, privacy is more nuanced—think of a coffee shop or a conference where conversations are private but you can still overhear interesting snippets. We’ve applied this idea online, giving users more control over when they’re discoverable. Here is the demo video: https://x.com/indexnetwork_/status/1828847341001924833 And our short article about it: https://blog.index.network/can-something-be-private-yet-disc... Curious about your thoughts.
