Clean, plain browser-based app with no app store download

From 2 comments
What people do alone is very interesting and this site does a really good job at capturing that. HN is a place of very constructive and brutal criticism, so you will probably be…
addict3d on HNCouldn't help thinking of this: "If you find yourself struggling with loneliness, you're not alone. And yet you are alone. So very alone." (https://despair.com/products/loneliness)

If this is a web app, why can't is use it from my desktop browser?

Risk of trolls and alt-right takeover of anonymous posting
From 2 comments

Add flagging or reporting for bad content

Is it distinct from the Korean app MOCI or the Whisper app?
From 2 comments
Same Korean app "MOCI" been around since 2014.
