Hi @anxiny ,
Did you look into firebase hosting? Since you're not putting any advertisements in your website, you aren't getting profit here. $70/year may not sound much but is a lot. Firebase hosting on the other hand is free.

Thanks for sharing the idea. Vercel hosting is free too, the cost is for me to own the domain name.

Best

Google Chrome can do it. Push arrow on the end of URL field and choose "share between my devices", then choose one of them.

I don't know chrome has this, but looks like can only send to the device within same account.

Pretty cool tool to have! There are times when I'd need something exactly like this 💯
On another note, those .io domains can be pretty costly for real 😅

very cool - for a simple solution not requiring building a website I have created either a google doc or google sheet that is editable and created a shortlink that goes to it. That way I’m the only one who knows it and can share with people I know. But your project allows anyone in the world to do it without having to create something. Well done. It would be nice to have a copy button to copy the text. Thanks for building!

Really cool Idea, would be awesome if a two-way-binding could be implemented just for that short span of 2 mins and if there's a mistake then user could update it without regenerating a new code.
