    Hey HN, I built this to scratch an itch I had around what can be done solely using the URL. It's very minimal with no storage involved, and your files can even be encrypted. The only caveat is some platforms wont allow you to post long links. I thought about using a URL shortener, but storing and mapping URLs kind of defeats the purpose. However most browsers do allow you to open them once you have them. For instance I was able to "share" a 10MB file using safari, however 350KB seems to be the max for Chrome.

    Hi HN I built mdto.page because I often needed a quick way to share Markdown notes or documentation as a proper webpage, without setting up a GitHub repo or configuring a static site generator. I wanted something dead simple: upload Markdown -> get a shareable public URL. Key features: Instant Publishing: No login or setup required. Flexible Expiration: You can set links to expire automatically after 1 day, 7 days, 2 weeks, or 30 days. Great for temporary sharing. It's free to use. I’d love to hear your feedback!

    I built Stash because I was tired of the usual tradeoff in file sharing: either force recipients to create accounts or give up on privacy. How it works 1. Upload from the iOS, iPad or Mac app 2. Get a shareable link 3. Recipients download in the browser, no app, no account, nothing to install Encryption model Files are encrypted on device using AES 256 GCM before upload. The encryption key lives only in the URL fragment (after #), which browsers never send to servers. Even if the link is intercepted in transit, the file cannot be decrypted without the fragment. The server never sees…
