I like this a lot and might even use it myself. That said, the link generated is much too long for sharing, esp on Twitter, but probably anywhere. I'm guessing its a known issue though.

Yeah you're spot on. I'm trying to think of a way to solve this... but really trying to avoid having a back end/storing anything at all, though I'm not sure what else to do, if not through url's

If the url is less than 2000 characters, goo.gl (google's url shortner) will work, and that makes it much more sharable... but for bigger writings, I'm at a loss.

An export function would help here, but in the end, sharing from ZenPen.io would be preferable.

Open to any suggestions :)

if you want to store content in url, you'll hit limits sooner or later, unless writings are highly regular and can be compressed well.
