Show HN: Mura Notes – Anonymous, Lightweight and Shareable Notes and Todos

The idea behind Mura Notes is basically to have lightweight disposable notes, which you don&#x27;t have to provide any personal info to use and share.<p>Each note has two URLs, with one allowing editing, while the other one has read-only access. If you lose the URL, you essentially lose the note.<p>The front end polls the API every few seconds, so if you have the same note open in a few tabs you should see it changing as the content changes.<p>I&#x27;ve been using Mura Notes for a while now and I have a pinned and bookmarked &quot;main&quot; note, where I have links to other notes.<p>I used Postgres, node.js + express, and next.js + slate.js, and everything&#x27;s on GCP. Since I&#x27;m the only user so far, it takes some time to spin up the instance when I access my notes, which is a little annoying (yet, cheap).<p>Also, I am an iOS user, so I noticed just recently that the todo editor doesn&#x27;t work ok on Android, which is a problem with slate since the examples on their site also stuff up the same way. Other than that, I think it all works reasonably well.<p>Some other things to note are that there&#x27;s a dark mode (top right) and that if you share a read link and a few people report it as abusive, the read link will stop working. The deletion of a note results in removing its content (and there&#x27;s no versioning, so it is really gone), not the actual deletion of the link. And that&#x27;s about it for now.<p>Future (major) plans include things like one-time pad encryption, where I want to have an option to generate a random key and a text field where users can enter their own and possibly other privacy-related features. Well, I don&#x27;t track usage through third-parties anyway. Nor do I have any integrations with anything external, so they are sort of private, but of course, I can see the content through the db.<p>All suggestions welcome, of course.
