I wanted a dead-simple way to share text, links, or code without creating accounts or dealing with messy UIs. So I built Zync(https://zyncshare.vercel.app/) — paste, share, done.

  • Share plain text, links, or code instantly
  • Replies work without login
  • Everything auto-expires in minutes or hours
  • No tracking, no ads, no clutter.

Would love to hear what you think. Is it something you’d actually use?

    Automatically adding a generatored password to each share site could fix this. Without the password the page cant be accessed and thus wont be deleted.

    For sharing, the password could be embedded in the URL as a fragment/query param.

      Even a captcha would work. You wouldn’t have to have your users create a one time use password, you can just have a set of 5 random numbers that someone has to type in in order to access the data.

      Yeah that’s a really good idea! I was actually exploring something similar too while building this MVP — like adding a PIN or auto-generated password to protect each drop. The idea of putting it in the link as a query also sounds smooth and user-friendly.

      This is just an early version I made to test the concept and see what people think, but now I’m definitely thinking about adding this kind of protection to stop abuse. Thanks for the suggestion!
