Hi HN! I realize there's no shortage of note-taking apps, but I wanted to make one where you don't need an account, don't need to download an app, and your notes won't be sync'ed to the cloud, etc. I used to use Windows Notepad for this, but now I use a Mac and everything from Notes gets pushed into iCloud.

If you just need to write a shopping list or jot something down quickly instead of a note that you'll need to keep for a long time, Temporary Note might be useful for you:

- Accessible from any device with an internet connection & web browser

- Notes are not uploaded to the cloud, but keep in mind that they're in the URL, so they might make it into your browser history

- There's a few features for dictation, speech synthesis, fullscreen

- Am considering adding saving notes as txt files, but won't be adding any cloud sync or accounts; it's not that kind of note-taking app

Would love to hear any feedback on whether it's useful or not, or any feature suggestions.
