Time-To-Live (TTL) Explained
All shared snippets on show.franzai.com are temporary and will expire after a set period, referred to as Time-To-Live (TTL).
Available TTL Options:
- 5 minutes
- 10 minutes
- 20 minutes (default)
- 1 hour
- 1 day
- 1 week
- 1 month
- 3 months
Why use TTL? This ensures that content is not permanently stored,
reducing storage requirements and improving privacy.
Authentication
While show.franzai.com can be used without authentication, logging in with Google provides several benefits:
- Future feature: Ability to manage and delete your shared snippets
- Future feature: Access to snippet analytics
To log in, click the "Login to Share" button or use the login option in the hamburger menu.
