Free sharing on your own Cloudflare

Cmd+Shift+L publishes a document as a web page — KaTeX, Mermaid, dark mode, mobile-ready. The twist: it publishes to your Cloudflare account, not ours. Free tier covers a personal workload easily.

Why self-hosted sharing

Every "share" button you've ever clicked uploaded your document to someone else's server, under someone else's terms, with someone else's lifespan. note.md's share plugin deploys a small Worker to your Cloudflare account: your links, your data, your kill switch. The free tier (100k requests/day) is far more than a human sharing documents will ever use.

Deploy in ten minutes

cd worker
pnpm install
wrangler login
wrangler kv:namespace create SHARES     # copy the id into wrangler.toml
openssl rand -hex 32 | wrangler secret put SHARE_API_KEY
wrangler deploy                          # prints your Worker URL

Paste the Worker URL and API key into note.md → Preferences → Share, restart, done. Full details live in the repo's worker/README.md.

What you get

FAQ

How much does this cost?

Nothing for personal use. Cloudflare's free tier includes 100,000 Worker requests per day and 10GB of R2 storage — orders of magnitude beyond a person sharing documents.

Can I take a shared page down?

Yes, instantly. File → Unshare (or notemd share --unshare) revokes the link; visitors get a 410. It's your Worker — you can also just delete it.
