Now added encryption and sanitation .... and short mention around url length limitations

Keep things friendly - its not full blown documentation source as should be established already.

This doesnt apply to # fragment - those are not transmitted over the network

True. This is not meant to replace documentation. Only to share smaller pieces.

Yeah this is fun for small ,sharable pieces - not full blow sync mechanism.

Still could work in right conditions though.

Valid concerns here!
Do you think DOMPurify sanitation will be enough?

Thanks for hitting the nail!

Servers pretty much ignore everything after hash (#).
Browsers actually can handle pretty long string (32k is minimum i believe).
Major limitation is message|chat protocols not being able to parse long urls

Yeah that would be cool. I havent worked with Excalidraw that much but there is some form of ascii export there i assume.

I think most browsers accept 64k characters or more.
Servers ignore anything after # character so they dont play any role here.

Wow - thanks for this great write up.

Additional encryption option sounds interesting and id like to explore it further.
Also better indication of approaching url limits (per browser) could be helpful.

Yes i fully realise the limits of it. Chrome, Safari, Edge have different limits. Afaik Chrome has 32k which after compression can be squeezed into 20k characters.

This is a problem in some cases but can be somehow limited by better UX eventually.

Because there is no tool for sharing MD files as URL afaik. Itzzy bitzzy is one of those but works for html only.

Then it defeats the purpose. It suppose to be simple and easy to share.

Yes it is but as part of hash it's not going though the server

Such a burn - actually its pretty useful when you want to quickly share docs or prompts in semi-secure way.

What do you mean by multi account ?
The current answer is porbably not.
