Show HN: I've built tldraw for HTML and Markdown pages (with encryption)

Hello, HN!This is a small app I ve built to satisfy three pains/wishes I ve had for a while and I think there might be people out there who can benefit from it as well.1. I want to pop up a new tab, start writing my thoughts and, maybe, share them over the internet. As fast as I can and with as little friction possible. tldraw totally does this for drawing stuff in a whiteboard but for text, Obsidian is a local tool that requires installing and Notion is too involved. I want a simple link that just works the moment you navigate to the page.2. Sometimes I wanted to share code or other text artifacts with customers over Discord, but the platform caps messages to a certain length before it forces you to submit a .txt. Pastebin kinda fills this gap but it s an old site and it doesn t handle BIG pastes very well also it doesn t double as your own document vault (plus I don t care about all their public pastes thing).3. This is a recent one. Now, due to AI tools, everyone is sharing Markdown and HTML files around, even people that have no idea what Markdown and HTML is. We end up with a bunch of static files thrown around, no versioning, no security, etc. I m not the best file organizer: I want shareable links and a compact history of all the artifacts people share with me and all of them on their latest version. Also, it instantly renders it!From this, Pastehex was born. It might seem a weird Notion/Pastebin/tldraw amalgam but to me it fills a gap no tool ever had. It kinda feels like Notes empowered just enough for an age of constantly generating and sharing info.I hope you like it as much as I do! It was built to be very fast and safe, it stores everything local unless you manually publish. I also have a long list of pains that I ll keep fixing with new features, stay tuned for:- Vim mode. - Accounts. - Table view for CSVs, Parquets, SQLite, DuckDB files. - Organizations.
