A minimalist browser-based text editor that stores all text compressed in the URL hash, requiring no backend or account. Notes can be shared simply by copying the URL, and styling can be customized via CSS.

Use cases

  • quickly jot down notes in the browser without installing anything
  • share a snippet of text or markdown via a link
  • write a note and send it to someone without a server
  • create a self-contained styled note page
  • save temporary text without cookies or accounts

When to choose

  • you want zero-setup, no-account note taking
  • you need to share text as a plain URL
  • you value privacy since nothing is stored server-side

When to avoid

  • you need long-term persistent storage or note history
  • your notes are too long to fit in a URL
  • you need collaboration or multi-device sync
