This is beautiful. Thank you for making and sharing! My own setup is a NextCloud-storage directory hierarchy where I write notes using MDWiki [1]. This lets me continue recording my thoughts even when I'm offline. [1] https://dynalon.github.io/mdwiki/#!index.md

Thanks.

I appreciate you sharing your solution too - its very clever!

I was wondering how to save text without sign-up and then realized that the url slug generated from the first line is the "login". Although no password implies no authentication. I can't help smiling seeing the slug becomes a unique id when I put "test" at the first line. I smiled even wider when I visited the "test" page. This is some interesting shit!

Thanks :)

Nice! I like these small self-contained Go projects with their own web server (thinking about adding a Tor front and changing go-sqlite3 to an encrypted version for easy, safe at-home use). Easy, self-hosted websites is how the true decentralized web will come about (at least while we wait for the tech to share resources catches up). If I could make one request, refactor the code a bit so that I could import it as a…

That refactor would be really nice.

Maybe I'll send a PR this weekend :)

Have you been to C2 recently? It's now a web app that load only if you have JavaScript activated. Pretty sad. At least this one works well on text browsers, and pages load fast without the need for a spinner.

I was an actual admin for C2 once. I'm talking about the original software design. Yeah, it's archived now. But it's essentially the same software but doesn't... even credit the concept of wikis in any way? It seems quite bad to not credit wikis in any way here.

Oh, you were an admin of C2? That's cool!

Yeah this new service is definitely a wiki.

Shameless plug, I made one that uses an AWS Lambda and S3 and encrypts everything before it gets sent over the wire. You can view a live version of it here ( https://todos.md/ ) or view the source here ( https://github.com/Prefinem/TODOS.md ) EDIT: grammar hurts

"Shameless"? So you shamelessly help me, and I'll shamelessly thank you. (It looks interesting, too.)

Agreed. I think this ‘shameless’ before posting a project of yours that answers or is related to the question/topic at hand is... wrong? People shouldn’t feel shame plugging their work and so, it would follow, ‘shameless’ is unnecessary.

Edit: Not to attack the poster. The poster is following societal convention, basically.
