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.


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.

🧑‍💻 How it works

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

This part is the link to the file:

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:

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

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.
