One such simple project for me was https://kvak.io. A weekend crafting for a need I had and couldn't find anyone offering - a simple online notepad where I can share the note by just copying the url and the 'sharee' continues writing.

The process itself is indeed very fulfilling and joyful.

https://cryptpad.fr/ should have everything you needed. Open source and end to end encrypted.
This couldn't be further away from what I really wanted. Way too much friction, lots of features and noisy UI... I'm sure it has its target audience, but it isn't for me.
I've built something similar: https://dotpad.vercel.app/
This is great— I have envisioned and even considered making this exact thing myself before. I'll definitely be using this, thank you.
This would be even more amazing if it could display your partner's edits in real-time.
Agreed! I'm planning to update it in a few weeks with additional features including real-time 'multiplayer'.
I'd love that. I'll come back to your account in a month to see if you've posted any updates.

I found this [1] that has multiplayer. However, I prefer how yours automatically redirects to a generated URL.

Very cool project. I love the fact that you did it in a weekend.
