What it is
GhostBoard is a deployed full-stack board experiment for short-lived anonymous posts. Messages expire after 24 hours, the feed filters expired rows, cleanup runs opportunistically, and the app includes configurable likes, flags, admin-token deletion, and Postgres-backed persistence for Vercel-style deployment. It is a lightweight social UX and API/database proof piece. Not a secure anonymous whistleblower platform or production social network.
