On notefeed.me

notefeed.me is notefeed run as a service: nothing to install and no account to make. Open it, pick a feed name and post. To keep the notes on your own disk, run your own server instead.

1. Pick a feed name. Open notefeed.me; it suggests a random one, such as homelab-7f3k2q9x4m8wz. The name is what lets someone read and post, and the whole internet can reach notefeed.me, so take a long one nobody can guess. Write a note in the box, or post the first one from a shell:

curl -H "Content-Type: text/markdown" --data-binary $'# Hello\nMy first note.' https://notefeed.me/homelab-7f3k2q9x4m8wz

2. Read it back. The answer holds the feed's read_url, a read-only RSS link that never shows the feed's name. Add it to any feed reader or dashboard; see Read links.

3. Post from your scripts. The command line and the client libraries take the server and the feed from the environment:

export NOTEFEED_URL=https://notefeed.me NOTEFEED_FEED=homelab-7f3k2q9x4m8wz
notefeed post "Backup done, 12 GB in 4 min"

Wherever these docs say https://notes.example.com, use https://notefeed.me.

What differs from your own server

Every feed on notefeed.me starts on the free tier: it keeps its newest 1000 notes, and has no pictures and no feed password. A license for the feed lifts that. Everything else works as described in Using notefeed and Integrations; where a page differs on notefeed.me, a box titled On notefeed.me says so.

Who runs the service, where the notes are and how to report content is on the notefeed.me page.
