I built Mynota, a minimal, browser-based text editor where the entire note is compressed and stored in the URL hash. That makes notes instantly shareable without any backend, accounts, or tracking.
Key ideas:
Uses the browser’s native Compression Streams API (deflate-raw)
Everything runs client-side (no servers, no DB, no analytics)
URL hash is the primary storage; localStorage is a fallback
Works offline and can be bookmarked
I’d love feedback on the approach, compression strategy, or edge cases you think I’ve missed.

Oh wow! This looks really good
