this is actually true. I've just pushed a small change to change this now

that was quick, cool :)

Edit on the shared link is also a bit dangerous as there is no colab-collission detection. But there it really depends on the use-case.

I always wanted to set up a web renderer that I could quickly paste to (but was too lazy to actually do it), just to quickly show something to others.

It was never really my intention to disable edits in these cases - there is no separate view for editing/viewing notes. I am considering adding a lock to stop people editing the same note simultaneously, but I've got no plans to disable the edit button at the moment

Maybe, instead of locking something in, just have a read-only link and an editable link for every note, without being able to derive the edit link from the ro link.

Otherwise, maybe someone should implement this purely as a frontend to volatile.wtf

Now that I think about it, I kind of want to implement that.
