Your discoveries
ShowingThin.gs assigns an anonymous first-party browser cookie after your first discovery. We store the Things shown to that browser, saves, feedback you give, and your serendipity setting. This helps avoid repeats and shape future discoveries. We do not require your name or email to explore.
You can export or delete your discovery history using the controls below. On showingthin.gs you can create an optional passkey account to carry history between devices. A one-time transfer code can move history from the temporary site address into that account. Clearing site data removes access to anonymous records that have not been transferred. Site hosting may retain operational request logs.
If you send a message through the contact form, we store its subject and text, along with any email address you choose to include. The site owner can review and archive it. Deleting your history also deletes your messages.
