Nice! Is it a deliberate design decession to not replicate the key phrase in the url, and have the notes be shareable as a direct link?
Thanks. Yes we tried to implement another way of sharing, not standard via url. Instead you can share notes via the key phrase on nooot - very easy to tell in person or via the phone.
Surely, DM `nooot.co/keyphrase` is much easier than texting ‘Go to http://nooot.co, then type “keyphrase”.’ So what are the objections against a shareable url? Persistence, security? (Just curious.)
We just wanted to make Nooot to feel super "clean" that was the main reason, also security. But we are super flexible and maybe going to add links later if we'll see that people don't feel some kind of distracted by the changed Url. Also it is possible that we are overthinking everything :D
I see, thanks. (Plus, I guess getting the slugs right — the mess that comes with percentage encoded unicode chars — perhaps won’t be worth the effort.)
This is really fun. This is like the Yo for notes!
But since its public and anyone can see what I've written, I probably won't use it for collaboration!
Love super simple ideas like this. Is there a way to link directly to a nooot so I don't have to tell my friend to type in a specific phrase? Is there any way to lock a nooot so it can't be edited by other people?
Thanks for the kind words. I like the idea of locking nooots, gonna think about it. Right now you can just choose a longer phrase.
Regarding the link sharing, we wanted to make it that way, because we felt it will be easier later to tell “apple @ nooot” or something like that, or via phone or even IRL. But we will see how it goes.

If it's ok, I would like to shamelessly plug a very similar project I finished about 5 years ago:
http://carpynotes.com/
It's notes plus a todo list. The user manual is auto loaded into the body of any blank note, just delete it and get going, read it first :) If you guys from the OP like any of the ideas, please borrow, the CarpyNotes projects has been dead for a while now, but some people use it on occasion, so I keep it running.

I forgot to mention, notes on how CarpyNotes works are also available at http://carpynotes.com/editor/popups/about.html
The keyphrase <script>alert(1);</script> didn't work :p
enter `<script type='text/javascript'>alert(1);</script>` as a note phrase, visit another note, then click the door icon
I think you found a more direct UI for simple wikis. Nice.
Thanks, that’s an interesting way to look at Nooot
How do you avoid collisions of passphrases?
We don’t do that, so you can actually collaborate on one note in real time with others.
that's the fun part, silly!
Markdown support would be nice :)
I found it really fun testing out various phrases and see where people had written before:

I would love to set an expiry date for this use case though as I only need the link for one minute to retrieve the files.
