Server-less message sharing

Recently I’ve been thinking about how to turn a computer into a big sticky-note which you can leave on the table or share.

I came up with an idea which does not require any storage on a backend. It is a single-page web application which displays a message encoded into the URL itself. To make things more fun I added support for text and image as well as markdown.

In order to display the message the server just needs to serve static content with some javascript capable of decoding the message.

The source code can be found here.

Happy messaging!
