About
NoteHub is a free and hassle-free anonymous hosting for markdown pages. It can be used for publishing of markdown-formatted text.
NoteHub was an one-app-one-language experiment and is implemented entirely in Clojure (ClojureScript). The source code can be found on GitHub. NoteHub's persistence layer is based on the key-value store redis. Currently, NoteHub is hosted for free on Heroku. Send your feedback and comments directly to @chmllr or open an issue on GitHub.
Why?
Not every person, who occasionally wants to express some thoughts, needs a blog. Blogs are tedious for writers and for readers. As readers we are not interested in every thought of other random people. As writers, we know, that everything rotates nowadays around social networks and not individual blogs. It's easier to publish something somewhere and to share the link with the audience on the community or social network of choice, than to maintain a blog trying to keep the readers interested.
NoteHub should be the place, where you can publish your thoughts without hassle.
How to Use?
First, create a new page using the Markdown syntax. When the note is published, you'll see a subtle panel at the bottom of the screen. From this panel you can go to a rudimentary statistics of the article, or you can export the original markdown, or copy the short url of the note. Besides this, you also can invert the color scheme by appending to the note url (example):
notehub.org/.../title?theme=dark
The same way you can specify a Google Web Font for headers by appending to the note url:
notehub.org/.../title?header-font=FONT-NAME
and for the text itself:
notehub.org/.../title?header-font=FONT-NAME&text-font=FONT-NAME2
See an example of the font formatting here.
After you've specified this in the url, you can copy the corresponding short url of the article and share it.
Export & Statistics
By appending of /stats to any note url, everyone can see a rudimentary statistics (currently, the number of note views only).
By appending of /export, the original markdown content will be displayed in plain text format.
