🧐 Usage

Use the Share Note command from the Command Palette. You can map it to a hotkey to make things faster.

The first time a file is shared, the plugin will automatically upload all your theme styles. The next time you share a file, it will use the previously uploaded theme files.

If you want to force the theme CSS to update, use the command Force re-upload of all data for this note.

📄 See the docs here: https://docs.note.sx/

🔒 Encryption

The content of your note is encrypted by default. What this means is that you can read the note, and the person you send it to can read the note, but nobody else can read the content - not even the hosting server.

Encryption is optional, and can be turned on/off for individual notes, or for all notes, whatever you prefer.

This service should not be used for sharing sensitive information. Anyone with the link can read your content.

How does the encryption work?

When you share an encrypted note, you'll get a share link that looks like this:

https://share.note.sx/xldtzcxq#Ty9bCAhVlSvC9f2FOxs...

This part is the link to the file:

https://share.note.sx/xldtzcxq

If you click on it, you'll see a message that says "Encrypted note", because you haven't provided the decryption key.

The decryption key is the second part of the share link after the # symbol:

#Ty9bCAhVlSvC9f2FOxsUBSBW7bLAUmq0CPTObWNAdXQ

When you combine those two things together, the note is able to be decrypted and you can see the content:

https://share.note.sx/xldtzcxq#Ty9bCAhVlSvC9f2FOxsUBSBW7bLAUmq0CP

The decryption key only exists inside your vault, and is only known to you and whoever you send the link to. Nobody else can read the content.

You may optionally share an unencrypted version of a note by using the frontmatter checkbox property share_unencrypted = ✅. This note you are currently reading is shared unencrypted.

If you decide you want to share most notes unencrypted by default, then you can encrypt an individual note by using a frontmatter checkbox called share_encrypted.

💔 The one downside of encrypted sharing

Please note that if you share your note encrypted, it will prevent it from being able to show a preview when you paste the link into a message or forum; for example the preview which shows up in my Obsidian forum post here:
