# NoteHub

NoteHub is a free and anonymous hosting of markdown pages. It can be used for publishing of formated text. For instance, this  service might be interesting for people, who want to publish something, but don't want to start a blog.

## Writing

Once a user started to write, he gets a special draft URL like:

    http://notehub.org/draft/4j32j4g23v23v4vnb234mn23jh6b76686

His changes will be auto-saved every minute, manualy or at a registered page exit. When the same link will be opened again and the page wasn't published yet, the author will be recognized using cookies, or he should enter three non-trivial words from the document, to unlock the draft. The security aspect here is non-critical, since every page will eventually be published on NoteHub anyway. So there is no reason to assume, that a draft contains critical information.

## Publishing

Once a page is published, it gets accessible under and URL like:

    http://notehub.org/%YEAR/%MONTH/%DAY/%TITLE

Hence, every date represents a name space.
