I wanted a dead-simple way to share text, links, or code without creating accounts or dealing with messy UIs. So I built Zync(https://zyncshare.vercel.app/) — paste, share, done.

  • Share plain text, links, or code instantly
  • Replies work without login
  • Everything auto-expires in minutes or hours
  • No tracking, no ads, no clutter.

Would love to hear what you think. Is it something you’d actually use?

Yeah that’s a really good idea! I was actually exploring something similar too while building this MVP — like adding a PIN or auto-generated password to protect each drop. The idea of putting it in the link as a query also sounds smooth and user-friendly.

This is just an early version I made to test the concept and see what people think, but now I’m definitely thinking about adding this kind of protection to stop abuse. Thanks for the suggestion!
