A possible security concern is that this can store arbitrary HTML, including script.

Ironic how you posted a note without a password so anyone immature enough (me) could just tamper with your example.

A lightweight online note-pad for any quick text-sharing needs. Let me know what you think or if you find any use for it!
[+] breck|5 years ago|reply
Neat! I like how it's lightweight, not enough lightweight stuff on the web nowadays (except for HN). Allowing the option to set human readable permalinks might be useful.

I like the unintrusive UI, but what I would really like is markdown support. I am not sure if that fits _your_ initial idea, but I'm a tech person, so, for me that's a must.

Also, add https, because google will punish you.

Otherwise, well done.

I created https://markdownshare.com/ to allow anybody to create/share/render markdown.

Unfortunately these kind of sites are an abuse magnet, so it is in the process of being retired.

I think any sustainable site/service like this has to be self-hosted, or come with a subscription. Because otherwise dealing with all the bots, spam-submissions, and other abuse is just too depressing.

What would help a lot, if you could customize the generated parameter in some way. Together with the password feature noone could "hack" into it anyways.

This could be handy when you post on a forum or underneath a new article. Sometimes you want to go into more depth but technically limited on space or frankly it would be too much. You could have a link to note for those that wanted to read more. Would like it if I could host on my server, and had markdown (as said) plus some basic tracking info - # clicks etc.

Looks nice! You seem to be missing an about page and a privacy-related page though. What tech stack is behind?

It doesn't work for me after I enter a password to lock it. I cannot type in anything.

Does anyone know of a replacement for the chrome extension papier? Made a new tab in chrome into a persistent notepad. I built all my note taking around it and my only option seems to side load it from now on.

Very interesting tool. I wonder what the business model behind this might be. How do you intend to make money? Do you even want to make money with this?
[+] levmiseri|5 years ago|reply
I don't intend to make money out of this. A happy little side project that's easy to maintain and improve over time.

Can you describe the tech stack behind this?
[+] levmiseri|5 years ago|reply
The entire thing is just a vanilla HTML/CSS/JS connected with Firebase.

Could you make it redirect to https automatically please? Will the source code be available?

This is a great way to quickly share text between my personal phone and my work machine :)
