A comment on Hashify.me - store entire website content in the URL.

I hacked together an encrypted (aes 256) read/write "database" once with the bitty API as the persistence backend.

However, this site disappoints me, it doesn't seem to do anything other than what a data URL can do, except it's vulnerable to downtime because of a centralized website.

Edit: for those of you unfamiliar with what a data URL is. You an store a HTML or image document using a URL like data:text/HTML;base64,hashifystuffhere

Add the trivial step, then. Markdown to HTML, HTML to data URL.

Or just, you know, email people the content if you can give them the same data anyway.
