Share Text between browsers in real time using shareTXT

Share text between your browser windows in real time such as long urls or meeting links across your devices and stay in flow while working online.

Simple open the website on both devices and paste your text to share.

http://sharetxt.live

If I want to share the text between devices then I need to send the link? What is stopping me for sending that long via text, slack or other messaging platforms?

I am trying to understand the use case here.

Some feedback: - Add ssl. - The url will always start with `default`, you can use uuid to make it unique.

I was in http://www.sharetxt.live/default and I was expecting to see a password or another secret to enable sharing. So I opened it in another browser, and notice that everyone can read http://www.sharetxt.live/default . Does the text get cleaned when nobody is connected?

For autogenerated "passwords" some sites use something like http://www.sharetxt.live/872-102-617 that is easier to pass by voice, but it may be bruteforced.

Anyway, kids this day don't want to edit the URL. You should add a textbox and a button as an alternative method. (Something like https://www.mailinator.com/ )
