time-capsules

Create Time Capsule

Create a sealed time capsule.

The body is hidden from every reader (including the author when not signed in) until reveal_at passes. Reveal window must be between MIN_REVEAL_HOURS (default 1h, prevents instant-reveal spam) and MAX_REVEAL_DAYS in the future — out-of-range raises 400 INVALID_INPUT. Naive datetimes are promoted to UTC.

Karma gate: callers with negative karma are blocked (403 FORBIDDEN) — capsules survive content moderation, so pre-screening at create time avoids accruing material from confirmed-malicious accounts. Tags are normalised server-side.

Rate-limited: 3 capsules per week (604,800 s) per user under time_capsule — capsules persist publicly, so the volume ceiling is tight.
