Show HN: Nooot – Share text using the key phrase, access it from anywhere
- dyladan 12y agoLove super simple ideas like this. Is there a way to link directly to a nooot so I don't have to tell my friend to type in a specific phrase? Is there any way to lock a nooot so it can't be edited by other people?
- refut 12y agoThanks for the kind words. I like the idea of locking nooots, gonna think about it. Right now you can just choose a longer phrase. Regarding the link sharing, we wanted to make it that way, because we felt it will be easier later to tell “apple @ nooot” or something like that, or via phone or even IRL. But we will see how it goes.
- insensible 12y agoI think you found a more direct UI for simple wikis. Nice.
- refut 12y agoThanks, that’s an interesting way to look at Nooot
- kej 12y agoIt would be nice to be able to remove entries from the recently accessed key phrase list, and maybe there should be an option when creating a text to not let it be stored in the history, so it has to be typed in each time.
- refut 12y agoReally good points, thanks.
- hyyypr 12y agoMarkdown support would be nice :)
- mazlix 12y agoThe keyphrase <script>alert(1);</script> didn't work :p
- bikamonki 12y agoHow do you avoid collisions of passphrases?
- refut 12y agoWe don’t do that, so you can actually collaborate on one note in real time with others.
- CompanyLaser 12y agothat's the fun part, silly!
- Kiro 12y agoI found it really fun testing out various phrases and see where people had written before: HN Hacker News Hello Test Nooot
- oliwary 12y agoPerfect! Sometimes I need to send a dropbox link from one of my devices to a computer at work to print and stuff. Until now I have always used email or facebook, but because I use long passphrases and a key manager logging in on the other computer is always a hassle. This will serve that use perfectly - use a random passphrase and then paste the link, type in on other computer and then open it from there. Great! I would love to set an expiry date for this use case though as I only need the link for one minute to retrieve the files.
- refut 12y agoThanks a lot for the feedback! That’s how we use Nooot on our own :) You can just delete the text from the note after you’ve copied the link, it will be deleted permanently.
- oliwary 12y agoAh, I see. I've started a list of use-cases at "uses".
- ruffyen 12y agoI use Push Bullet for that exact purpose
- x0054 12y agoIf it's ok, I would like to shamelessly plug a very similar project I finished about 5 years ago: http://carpynotes.com/ http://carpynotes.com/ It's notes plus a todo list. The user manual is auto loaded into the body of any blank note, just delete it and get going, read it first :) If you guys from the OP like any of the ideas, please borrow, the CarpyNotes projects has been dead for a while now, but some people use it on occasion, so I keep it running.
- x0054 12y agoI forgot to mention, notes on how CarpyNotes works are also available at http://carpynotes.com/editor/popups/about.html http://carpynotes.com/editor/popups/about.html
- alex_g 12y agoThis is fantastic! I think it would be helpful to be able to change key phrases just by clicking and editing, rather than having to click that arrow button. At the very least move the arrow button to the left side of the phrase.
- refut 12y agoThat’s a cool idea, thanks.

- alex_g 12y agoI found the secret.
- sixdimensional 12y agoCYOA! That's epic.
- alex_g 12y agoCheck out the story too.
- sekasi 12y agoHey Author, this is a really cool idea! I will definitely use this. Just wanted to give you some kudos. Thanks for showing <3
- refut 12y agoThank you Very appreciated
- rhythmvs 12y agoNice! Is it a deliberate design decession to not replicate the key phrase in the url, and have the notes be shareable as a direct link?
- refut 12y agoThanks. Yes we tried to implement another way of sharing, not standard via url. Instead you can share notes via the key phrase on nooot - very easy to tell in person or via the phone.
- rhythmvs 12y agoSurely, DM `nooot.co/keyphrase` is much easier than texting ‘Go to http://nooot.co http://nooot.co, then type “keyphrase”.’ So what are the objections against a shareable url? Persistence, security? (Just curious.)
- refut 12y agoWe just wanted to make Nooot to feel super "clean" that was the main reason, also security. But we are super flexible and maybe going to add links later if we'll see that people don't feel some kind of distracted by the changed Url. Also it is possible that we are overthinking everything :D
- rhythmvs 12y agoI see, thanks. (Plus, I guess getting the slugs right — the mess that comes with percentage encoded unicode chars — perhaps won’t be worth the effort.)
- jakub_g 12y agoI am the bad guy who blocks mixpanel with adblock and the page is blank for me because of that. Not sure if this is intentional or just was never considered?
- refut 12y agoSorry for that, it is not intentional, we'll fix it.
- lytedev 12y agoThere seems to be a minor bug where visiting a keyphrase with an apostraphe causes the HTML entity to replace it.
- refut 12y agoThanks, we'll fix it.
- alex_g 12y agoI made a 'help' menu to highlight some of the neater stuff I contributed to.
- refut 12y agoThanks, we'll definetely review it.
- lightlike 12y agoenter `<script type='text/javascript'>alert(1);</script>` as a note phrase, visit another note, then click the door icon
- anhad13 12y agoThis is really fun. This is like the Yo for notes! But since its public and anyone can see what I've written, I probably won't use it for collaboration!
