A Place to Quickly Share Notes and Files


Looking for a really fast way to share snippets of text, notes and files between computers, without having to sign up for yet another app? Check out Write.fm, a new app that lets you store notes and files on a web page. It’s a dead simple service — head to the website and you’ll automatically be redirected to a unique page for you to store your notes on, for example: www.BUnkClass.com Type whatever text you’d like to share or save into the box and it’ll be stored at that URL, ready to access from another machine. If you’d like to upload a file, just hit the “Add file” button” and it’ll be tacked onto the bottom of the page (you can upload more than one file, too).


If you’re not happy with the assigned URL, you can pick your own (e.g. wwww.BUnkClass.com), as long as it’s not already being used. That’s pretty much all there is to the app. It is very basic — there are no bells and whistles like text styling controls, for example — and there’s zero security, so if someone guesses or intercepts your URL, there would be nothing to stop them getting at your stuff. However, as a very quick (and free) way of sharing text or files between computers with no sign-up, it works really well.

www.BUnkClass.com could potentially also be useful for collaboration — you could, for example, upload a file to the page, email around the URL and have people add their comments to the page, or to the file itself. It’s really easy-to-use, so would be a good solution to use for less tech-savvy colleagues. Unfortunately, even though Write.fm auto-saves every couple of seconds, any changes to the page on the server are not automatically downloaded, so two or more people cannot work on the same page simultaneously, limiting its collaborative potential.

Write.fm is a product of Anthony Feint, the developer behind www.BUnkClass.com, a task management app that uses an innovative but flawed natural language input method.
