Hello again,

wanted to just post a few feature options for you to consider.

  1. Expiration options - (hour, day, week, two weeks). In case the URL is not used, the note will self-destruct after the specified time.
    This would be handy in case for example if one creates a note and then by accident goes and creates another one. Unless you have copied the previous URL there is no way to get to it (unless you go to the DB and delete it). Maybe there is but I haven'�t figured it out.

  2. Copy button - when the generated URL is shown it is already highlighted and you can just copy it using the keyboard. Maybe there could be a copy button option as well for users that prefer is that way. Also, mobile platform (iOS) doesn't even generate an URL that it is preselected, so a manual selection is needed for that example.

  3. Warning before showing the note - maybe there could be a mechanism that will warn the user that upon confirmation the note will be destroyed, just in case that there was a mistake opening the URL in the 1st place.

Also, I have noticed that the message is flagged as read (and I get 404 error in these cases) if you copy it inside an app that supports URL detection (like SLACK or Rocket.Chat). Unless the URL is copied there as a CODE, the URL will result in 404 (already read and deleted). Not really sure if I made my self clear on this last one but essentially any app that can detect URL and try and resolve them (to pull down a thumbnail, or description of the site) will trigger READ message.

Tnx again for this platform!

Thanks, very constructive suggestions. I hope to find some time in near future for that.

This is still more a prototype than a really working and popular project, so many UI and useful features is missing.

But the remark that in any modern chat will be read encrypted notes during the preview is a significan, I’ll try to fix that first (but again is more realated on UI than backend and I'm personally prefer to work with backend code).

Again, thank you for your time and your feedback. As much as there are similar platforms out there, I can say that even in this state, your platform is a working version for me. We have already posted about it on the synoforum.com site as a resource. Will do a personal blog article on it as well.

Hope you will continue with the maintenance and some development in the future.
