A warning that might spoil a bit your adventure on the long run: Your published pages will be exploited somehow. SEO backlink abuse, phishing, etc. Offering free public hosting is what people with ill intent are looking for, and you can be sure that at some point they'll look at your solution
co-founder here: feel free to ask any questions!
Who is the target audience?
- Syntax highlighting - "one off" Public pages - Slide presentations - embedding task lists with dates
Also, was a pandemic project...so ppl were just using tech and sharing in different ways than they had been.
A while ago, I made something exactly like this called writedown: https://writedown.app
It is a free and open source, simple and easy to use Notion alternative.
I had to leave it midway (it's ready to use and stable though) because my other projects needed attention but I'll get back to it someday :)
Nice product! I might have missed mentions of it, but is it real-time editing? Does it supports multi users?

It is real-time editing! We leverage web-sockets to sync across multiple logged-in sessions. But as of today it does not support multiple users collaborating on the same document.

Thank you! It is realtime across devices/instances for the active user. Currently it doesn't support collaborative editing but it's always been on the back of our minds if there is enough interest. Aside from just doc syncing for multi-users, we'd need to make some changes in the doc structure/presentation to provide a clean UX around that (without making the UI to complex). That said, it's not off of the table :)
re: public pages. Thank you and definitely top of mind for us to monitor.
Amazing work! Thank you for sharing here.

Sooo expensive, thank you sooo much!
> We created lowercase as a side project to make it easier for folks to quickly share content without the pressure of having the perfect blog post. Sometimes you just want to share thoughts without worrying about styling and hosting. Ideas aren't always structured. And sometimes simple and easy is what you need.
> A note-taking app that is simple, fun to use, snappy, and easy on the eyes. There is no one perfect note-taking tool. Everyone has their preferences. But we feel that we've landed on something nice.
> We built lowercase in our spare time as a passion project. No funding.
> We decided from the very beginning that we'd never collect or share any user data. We don't even use website analytics. The intent of lowercase is to stay lean and serve a purpose - make it easier to share thoughts in sometimes ever-evolving documents.
