Show HN: Minimal note-taking app

No accounts, barely any UI chrome. Web-based note taking app with real-time collaboration. Visiting homepage generates a new note with a unique URL.

    I always like these... What are they called, I guess "early-web-style" or "wild" internet apps.

    I never know what to use them for, though. If the authors read this thread: what's the intended use case for this? Pseudo-anonymous publishing? How are you intending to use it? How long will it stay up?

    Allowing people to self host it (ie as a caddy-style single binary) might make more sense maybe, as it'll given people a sense of ownershit
