tl;dr: take a quick note!

want to take a super quick note and forget about it? put it in here. if you note down the edit id which is shown once you can edit it afterwards, otherwise it's non-editable. no notes are shared with anyone, but if the url finds it's way into a search engine or a friends hand it's searchable and accessible.

what the hell is markdown

according to wikipedia:

markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax

here's the syntax

features

enter just plain text. feel free to use markdown, it'll be rendered into a nice page
edit your notes afterwards if you keep the key
if you take a quick note on the go you can also send an email with the link to your note

get json document or plain text

add .txt or .json as the url extension to get either the pure plain text version or json dump of the note, so you don't have to deal with scraping and weird copy and paste issues. or have a look on the page footer.

for example:

push from the command line

for example, with curl:

curl -H 'X-API: True' -X POST -F 'content=test' https://scribble.fyi/post

and also with line breaks:

curl -H 'X-API: True' -X POST -F $'content=# heading\nwhat\'s up?' https://scribble.fyi/post

or send a whole file (test.txt in this case):

curl -X POST -F 'content=<test.txt' https://scribble.fyi/post

post, edit, delete from the command line

create new note:

curl -H 'X-API: True' -X POST -F 'content=test' https://scribble.fyi/post

{
    "edit_id": "62e4d688580a2e9e1e169b93",
    "email": null,
    "post_id": "e4681ef7-a735-47be-815d-5b1d8d6d9a75",
    "short_url": null,
    "subject": null,
    "success": true
}

edit note with nenw content:

the whole thing will be overwritten if you edit something.

curl -H 'X-API: True' -X POST -F 'content=test2' -F 'edit_id=62e4d688580a2e9e1e169b93' https://scribble.fyi/edit/e4681ef7-a735-47be-815d-5b1d8d6d9a75

{
    "post_id": "e4681ef7-a735-47be-815d-5b1d8d6d9a75",
    "success": true
}

curl -H 'X-API: True' -X POST -F 'content=test23' -F 'edit_id=62e4d688580a2e9e1e169b93' https://scribble.fyi/edit/e4681ef7-a735-47be-815d-5b1d8d6d9a75

{
    "post_id": "e4681ef7-a735-47be-815d-5b1d8d6d9a75",
    "success": true
}

make a mistake while editing, meaning entering the wrong edit_id for example:

curl -H 'X-API: True' -X POST -F 'content=test23' -F 'edit_id=abc' https://scribble.fyi/edit/e4681ef7-a735-47be-815d-5b1d8d6d9a75

{
    "data": "test23",
    "message": "false or no edit id given",
    "post_id": "e4681ef7-a735-47be-815d-5b1d8d6d9a75",
    "success": false
}

delete a note, just post empty content:

curl -H 'X-API: True' -X POST -F 'content=' -F 'edit_id=62e4d688580a2e9e1e169b93' https://scribble.fyi/edit/e4681ef7-a735-47be-815d-5b1d8d6d9a75

{
    "message": "note deleted",
    "success": true
}

why is this page so ugly?

to make it fast without a lot of stylesheets and javascript. bam!

why didn't I get an e-mail?

if the e-mail server fails in the backend the process will be skipped, I'm sorry. no SLA here.

why didn't I get the shortened url back?

see e-mail section above, the same applies to shortened urls. Feel free to use any url shortener you want to if it fails.
