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.
