A conceptual net-art experiment: a website that continuously searches for itself on Google and irrevocably deletes itself (including all visitor-contributed content) the moment it appears in search results. The source code is provided so others can run their own similar ephemeral experiments.

Use cases

  • run a self-destructing website experiment
  • study how quickly Google indexes a new site
  • create ephemeral collaborative content that vanishes when discovered
  • explore privacy and search engine behavior through art
  • deploy an ephemeral comment board on Heroku

When to choose

  • you want to replicate or remix the self-deleting website experiment
  • you need a reference implementation for detecting your site in Google search results
  • you are exploring ephemeral, privacy-focused web art projects

When to avoid

  • you need a production website or CMS with persistent content
  • you want reliable search engine optimization or indexing
  • you need a supported, maintained project - the experiment concluded in 2015 and the code is archival
