Simple. Clean. Works.

But, I'm still not sure when I would use it. I saw on http://jotonce.com/about/ a few use cases but I can't say that I've ever needed something encrypted. This is basically an encrypted etherpad right?

Also, what is the difference between a 'passphrase' for a notepad and just a custom url key? Anyone can just type in things and try to guess the passphrase. Is it really any more secure than what other online notepads did with unique urls?

Yea you can just try to guess the passphrase, but if you want to make it harder you can always use a passphrase + the last 4 digits of their phone number under options. The difference between the passphrase and the custom url key is that at least for me a passphrase is alot easier to pass along. Just telling someone the password is 'house' and them having to put in their phone number is easier to pass along to a non-technical person then a custom url.
