WhenGuard : Just-In-Time Links

WhenGuard is a simple service for delayed publication of time-sensitive information. It’s like a safe deposit vault for content that opens only after a certain time. “Got a secret that you cannot reveal until a certain time? WhenGuard can keep it safe for you.”.

Possible uses:

  • Throw a surprise party: Create WhenGuard jitlink (just-in-time link) for the invitation and forward it to all your friends ahead of time.
  • Craiglist classifieds: Post classified and keep certain info hidden until you’re comfortable revealing it (such as the address of an apartment).
  • Online coupons: Distribute a jitlink to the coupons or special offers well before they take effect.

People visiting jitlink before the provided deadline will see a count-down timer along with a message asking them to check-up later. That’s about it, if you need more info go to WhenGuard FAQ page or play a video screencast here.
