A serverless markdown editor WordPress plugin that stores content entirely in the URL hash. No database, no server storage — just share a link. Inspired by Buffertab.
⚠️ Work in Progress — This plugin was partly vibed. Expect rough edges.

- ✅ Serverless Storage — All content lives in the URL. No database required.
- ✅ Markdown Support — Full GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) with live preview.
- ✅ Optional Encryption — AES-256-GCM client-side encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation.
- ✅ Dark Mode — Automatic system detection + manual toggle.
- ✅ Fullscreen Mode — Distraction-free writing.
- ✅ Copy Link Button — One-click sharing.
Content is compressed (Deflate) and Base64-encoded into the URL hash.
| Browser | Max URL Length | Approx. Text Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome/Edge | ~2MB+ | ~500k+ chars |
| Firefox | ~64KB+ | ~100k+ chars |
| Safari | ~80KB | ~120k+ chars |
| IE/Legacy | ~2KB | ~3k chars |
Recommendation: For cross-browser/email compatibility, keep under 8,000 characters (shown as "100% used").
- ❌ No collaboration — Single-user, URL-based storage only.
- ❌ No version history — Each edit overwrites the URL.
- ❌ No image uploads — Markdown images must link externally.
- ❌ Browser-dependent — Older browsers may truncate long URLs silently.
- ❌ Password recovery impossible — Encrypted notes are unrecoverable without the password.

- No server-side data processing — all logic runs in the browser.
