Nice gigamick. This has a problem though, when you paste that link in a chat window (e.g. WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, ...), the app tries to get a link preview. This has the side effect of also expiring the note. I think it's best to implement a feature to detect whether it's a human opening the link or a bot.

Can confirm this happens with Matrix/Element. Amusingly, the brief contents of the note are visible in the preview along with "This note has now been permanently deleted".

  haha ok this is something I will remedy. As stated in other replies, the reason for posting here was to get feedback and improve the product (I just put to together over the weekend there)

    Hello, the way that privnote deals with it is by showing a page asking "Do you want to read this note and burn it?". That will solve the issue of preview apps expiring your notes.

      This is what I done! I realised this morning as I was in a McDonalds drive thru queue how easy it would be to solve just by adding an "are you sure" screen.
