Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a side project I’ve been working on called openleaf - a super minimal browser-based rich text editor.

I needed a quick way to jot notes while browsing without installing apps or logging in. Similar to tools like Notion or Loop, but without any of the setup, sign-ups, downloads or bloat. I also wanted something which makes sharing these notes very easy.

openleaf works by just visiting any URL like openleaf.xyz/anything-you-want and typing. Content saves automatically, and you can return to the same URL later. It supports basic markdown shortcuts and has a command menu for formatting.

This is primarily for my personal use and definitely a hobby project with some bugs. I’ll fix issues when I find time and will prioritize certain features if they gain traction or if there’s demand to improve specific things.

I just wanted to put a word out for it if anyone else might find it useful. No signups, no downloads - just grab a URL and start typing.

If you want to check it out: openleaf.xyz/info

The project is open-source if anyone’s interested.

Let me know what you think.
