Hi HN

I built Mynota, a minimal, browser-based text editor where the entire note is compressed and stored in the URL hash. That makes notes instantly shareable without any backend, accounts, or tracking.

Key ideas:

Uses the browser’s native Compression Streams API (deflate-raw)

Everything runs client-side (no servers, no DB, no analytics)

URL hash is the primary storage; localStorage is a fallback

Works offline and can be bookmarked

I’d love feedback on the approach, compression strategy, or edge cases you think I’ve missed.

I've not used es-toolkit but from what I see you get lower bundle size, typescript support and a better performance with our library. I will be releasing the the benchmark soon enough so do watch the repository if you can

Thanks for this! I've already started adding more tests. I ran some benchmarks and they were really impressive. I will get it out in the next release
