Is there something similar that is offline? All I'm interested in is just opening up a bookmark without an internet connection and being able to jot down stuff with Markdown support; it being able to save state is even not necessarily required.
Markdown and offline is always a bit problematic. It's a format that needs to be rendered with a browser, so it's just not very suitable for offline/non-browser use.
Excellent. Useful for being on a chromebook, offline and not logged in, so only opening local html files for tools is an option (no Chrome extensions). Will add file saving to my copy.
Not to pressure but having open/save buttons (implementable either as upload/download Javascript shims) would be interesting. They can also be quine-like (I.e. you save the HTML and Javascript of the editor itself together with the content). I did once that for Suneditor but did not publish it, alas.
It's now a Gist because I only realised later that the original note will be deleted after 24 hours.
There are now two mechanisms that persist data between sessions:
1. Auto-saving to localStorage every 5000 ms (adjustable as per the instructions).
2. Manual data saving/download implemented using an anchor element that triggers a download. We can now restore markdown by loading a downloaded file (in principle this should work for any plain text file).
One important thing to note here is that localStorage doesn't work in private browsing mode and its behaviour is not entirely consistent between browsers. So I wouldn't rely too much on it!
Mn. :( By the time I found out about the 24-hour thing I couldn't edit my original post anymore, the Gist link that I included eventually include for an improved version was also a couple of levels down.
Telegraph was actually one of the inspirations I used for Notes.cx.
However, I didn't use a JavaScript editor (Quill) in my case and I have no idea what the privacy and retention policies are like on Telegra.ph.
Thanks! A Notion-like editor is possible (using something like Editor.js - https://editorjs.io/) but would require much more development which would make this project quite a bit more complex :)
I think what would be also cool is this editor in different flavors. For instance, we notion style memo page creator. But with the same editor you can have blog publishing. I always found notion to be very complicated for the simple thing it is supposed to do. I really the interface and experience of this project.
this looks nice and clean. Generally, the problem with these services is that they can easily be used for malicious purposes -- fronts for data exfiltration, scamming etc., so there will be some cost attached to responding to various queries and takedown requests
There is a tool out there to combine markup-interpretation and mathjax (IIRC) for $ $ and $$ $$, applying them to the same <textarea> for translation onLoad(). I don't have a name for you right now to search for.
That's odd. I assumed it would act like, well, an input box akin to the one I'm typing this comment in, but it's not. At the very least, Ctrl + Backspace doesn't work (on Firefox on Linux) to delete entire words, which works everywhere else.
You can toggle tabs all within the browser, your screen sharing app of choice will be an additional layer of ui to deal with. Not hard, might add just a fraction of a second, but this is nice.
I find these super quick note taking tools incredibly handy. I love dillinger.io but I always find myself using docs.new because I can create a note within a second
Feature request: a keyboard shortcut to save or "create", because I'm lazy and scrolling down and clicking create is just too much :)
Keyboard shortcuts are actually something I thought about! I'll have to experiment with this a little bit to see how it can be implemented in a non-obtrusive and useful way.
I'm wondering for other folks that have created tools like this how do you do moderation of anonymous content as I can see this quickly devolving into a cesspool.
The thought of that has held me back from a couple of ideas I've had that allowed for public anonymous text.
(btw, I don't want to get into a discussion about if moderation is needed)
I think that due to the retention policy (24 hours) that I implemented as well as lack of any "social-like" features (likes, upvotes, comments, indexing, visibility), the tool is pretty self-moderating.
That said, I'd love to hear what others think on this subject as well.
1 suggestion - make a Created (published) note optionally editable... so when the note is originally being edited there is a checkbox to allow it to be editable or not, so once it's published, it's fixed in space and time...
The viewer of an uneditable note can have a button to "Edit a Copy" of the note to create their own version of it and publish it under their own URL, but they can't edit the content of the original one.

That is not true. Markdown has nothing to do with being online.

Edit: Updated styles. Clarified what it is.
I took another stab at it and this is what I ended up with: https://gist.github.com/honmanyau/5680d1c7b823d454122a0275ba...

Though I did think of an option to make the expiry selectable with an option, say, for 2 days.
Nice project!

NOW you've got yourself a forever tool here.
