#12Love the simplicity. I've definitely seem something along these lines before, but this zero login, zero hassle approach should be used a lot more online.
I think this is the tip of the iceberg for ease of use... eventually we'll see everything get this easy, and once payment is on this list we'll finally see online donations for stuff we like comparable to throwing change in a guitar box downtown. Looking forward to that!

#13I had developed a similar tool: http://wrrrite.com, but didn't know that this is such a highly competitive space

#14Apps like this are funny. Looking through the comments now, it's as if every one of us has implemented one of these (yes, I have too.)

#18Just for reference I'd like to add http://substance.io . It offers some more options for structuring a document and has a lot of export options. Real time collaboration also missing, but seems to be planned.

#19Feedback: 1. The inability to protect a note or do anything beyond create a note may fit the "simple" mantra it does not create good usability. There are so many essential features (no matter how simple the site is) that are missing. What if someone guesses my URL? What if I don't want anyone else to see my note(s)? I tried signing up and got "Thank You for signing up. We will notify you when user-specific features b…
Based on what you described, I think http://sync.in/ is the service that may suit your needs.

Thanks for the link, substance looks pretty cool I will consider it the next time I have to type up a tutorial.
