    Hi HN,

    OP here. I've been learning the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node) and wanted to build something more interactive than the usual "To-Do List" tutorial.

    Peekr is an anonymous social experiment/game inspired by "Truth or Dare".

    The core mechanics:

    Anonymity: No sign-up required (using local storage/tokens).

    Social Betting: Users can post a "Truth" and others bet virtual karma on whether it's real or fake.

    Tech: It's a SPA hosted on Vercel with a Node/Mongo backend.

    Why I'm posting: I'm looking for feedback on the UX flow and potential security pitfalls with this kind of anonymous architecture. It's still in beta, so be gentle with the bugs!

    Thanks for checking it out!
