I Built a Notebook for Sharing Notes That Doesn't Ask You to Sign Up First
Description and use
SharePad is a web app that lets users quickly share Slack meeting notes without signing up, preserving Markdown formatting and providing a stable view link plus a one‑time edit token.
Problem
Users need a quick way to share meeting notes in Slack without creating accounts, losing formatting, or relying on external services that require sign‑ups or permanent storage.
Outcome
SharePad provides a zero‑signup, markdown‑friendly notebook that generates a stable view link and a one‑time edit token, enabling quick sharing in Slack and later editing without changing URLs.
Workflow
- Create a notebook via /new or /quick, paste markdown into the editor.
- Generate a view link (/n/slug) and an edit link (/e/token).
- Share the view link in Slack; keep the edit link private.
- Edit the notebook later using the edit link; changes are auto‑saved.
- Optionally lock the view link with a password, set expiry, or enable open editing.
- Print the notebook via /n/slug/print for a professional PDF.
- Delete or let notebooks expire automatically after a set period.
- Delete orphaned images from Cloudflare R2 via scheduled GitHub Actions.
Evidence
SharePad skips all of that. You write markdown. You get two links: View link and Edit link.
No account. No password to create (unless you want to lock the view link).
