One other thing: you should really consider making this embeddable or as a wordpress plugin or browser extension. I'd be willing to pitch in and help with that if it something you're interested in. I've done a lot of extension and wordpress dev.

Coding is fun when done together! :) ... please PM me on twitter @mustakimali

I LOVE this. I usually email myself for use cases like this but this is much simpler and efficient. Thanks for building this.

One observation: you should clearly label the pin as such. If I hadn't read people's comments here I wouldn't have known what to do.

Thank you for your feedback, will definitely clearly label the PIN tomorrow. everything is worthless if people can't figure out what to do with them (without reading the manual) :)

I needed to send a long URL to my SmartTV browser, could not find anything easy. I normally use URL shortener service but this time I decided to give this a go.

I might add file sharing support soon, any feedback appreciated. Thanks.

A four digits PIN is too short to be secure. It looks easy to use brute force to pick one. For example copilot uses 9 digits like: 891 192 971

I don't understand what you can send. Only text like in a chat?

Yes only text for now. some URL (youtube, twitter) will have preview. might add file support but the original purpose was just to send links.

yes I agree 4 digit is too short, bumping this up to 6 digit now ;) ... but i wanted to keep this really simple. btw the pin will only work once. and hoping Cloudflare will help a little bit against brute force attacks until i add CAPTCHA into the connect page. thanks.
