Mynota – a browser-based text editor that compresses notes into the URL (mynota-app.vercel.app)

Hi HN

I built Mynota, a minimal, browser-based text editor where the entire note is compressed and stored in the URL hash. That makes notes instantly shareable without any backend, accounts, or tracking.

Key ideas:

Uses the browser’s native Compression Streams API (deflate-raw)

Everything runs client-side (no servers, no DB, no analytics)

URL hash is the primary storage; localStorage is a fallback

Works offline and can be bookmarked

I’d love feedback on the approach, compression strategy, or edge cases you think I’ve missed.

Oh wow! This looks really good
