https://www.hiroapp.com - Note-taking reduced to the core that just works™. Offline first, no signup needed, easily sharable (url, sms, email) and (web)realtime sync between all devices and collaborators.

My co-founder and I moved on to a new project a year ago, but this thing is still buzzing along on a cheap DO box and works like a charm with basically zero maintenance. Frontend is vanilla JS, backend in Go and the protocol is our slight modification of differential sync[0] to (re-)synchronize all text and metadata.

Very cool app! It reminds me of http://litewrite.net
Hey, your first link is giving me a 502 Bad Gateway error.
Thanks for noticing, should be fixed. (there goes my "zero maintenance"-claim :) )
:) It works now, and looks great! I just tried to share a test note via SMS (with a spanish mobile), still waiting though...

Congrats, and keep up the good work!

Thank you! Fixed the sms quirk as well (twilio api key was missing). If you re-invite your phone-# now, the sms should come thru.
Your product look reminds me Fog Creek Software website. What the style/fonts were inspired by?
