Writepad
Notion-style editor. No account. No server. Just a link.
Writepad is a browser-only block editor that compresses your whole document into the URL hash. No login, no backend, no telemetry — copy the link and you've shared, saved, and synced. Slash commands, themes, TODO sidebar, export to PDF/MD/HTML.
I kept noticing I was opening a separate note-taking app to jot down something I was already thinking about inside a browser tab. Research in one tab, draft in another window, copy-paste between them.
Writepad lives where you already work — in the browser. New tab, start typing. No app to install.
The trick: your entire document lives in the URL hash. Compressed, base64-encoded, right there in the address bar.
To share it → copy the link
To sync to your phone → scan the built-in QR code
The URL is the document.
That makes it private by architecture, not by promise. No backend, no database. Open the network tab — nothing leaves your device. Nothing to log in to, nothing to leak. And it's a real editor:

Hey Product Hunt 👋
