Very excited to share Stashpad Docs with the community today! Stashpad Docs is a minimal Google Docs alternative with markdown support and no account required. As we embarked on adding multiplayer functionality to our original notepad product, we did a number of user interviews to understand how dev teams manage notes and docs in a collaborative setting. One thing that struck us is how, even when teams had an official team wiki in place (using tools like Confluence or Notion), still they would often rely on Google Docs for a variety of use-cases. Google Docs has been one of the better options for ad-hoc collaboration, but for technical users it leaves a lot to be desired. It feels heavy and outdated. It doesn't have first-class support for markdown or even dark mode. And it can often be a hassle to get into a Google Doc with teammates, or find the doc you're looking for. Unlike Google Docs, Stashpad Docs is: 👯‍♀️ Collaborative with no account required. Share a doc link with a collaborator to jump in right away, no login required. Optionally create an account to unlock additional sync and security features. 😎 First and foremost a Markdown editor. Markdown is a simple syntax for formatting text without leaving your keyboard. We're taking the time to work through all of the little quirks and annoyances when dealing with Markdown, such that it's a delightful editing experience. 🏄‍♂️ Intentionally feature-lite. It has a minimalist interface so that it gets out of your way. It's with a technical user in mind - someone who enjoys using Markdown, dark theme, and appreciates ultra-fast interfaces. Want to try it out? Type https://stash.new into your browser. We're offering 40% off of annual plans through the end of the month with code PRODUCTHUNT40. We'd love to hear your feedback and questions and will be here on Product Hunt all day!

https://stash.new is wickedly simply and works from anywhere. It's become my goto the last couple of weeks in zooms, meets, facetimes and imessage/text chats that need an instant shared space without having to worry if the other person already has an account to X system. Try creating a new note to share quickly in Notion (I dare you 😅). Reaching for Apple Notes is easy, sharing is hard and unreliable. I don't want to think about all of this on the spot. I just need a shared space instantly that we can leave behind and continue working. I appreciate how siimple and out of the way Stashpad Docs feels, and I'm excited to see where it goes. It will be tempting to "bloat on" a lot of features.

I've been using Stashpad Docs for over a month and I'm happy to say that I haven't opened a Google Doc since! Stashpad is faster, easier, and actually built for simplicity. Easier move through multiple docs AND the search functionality is mindblowing.

No need to sign up, just open the link start using, collaborate - this makes it really powerful. Using markdown makes it really slick. Looks great!

We're excited to be introducing Stashpad Docs today! One of our main goals with Stashpad Docs is simplicity. There's often this temptation to add features and make things more complicated than they need to be. In this product, we're determined to keep the feature set and learning curve to a minimum. We think a good docs experience is free of clutter. It should be really fast, and it should get out of your way as you write and collaborate with others. It should also look nice! Markdown is key as well. We think markdown is the best way to format text, and we're working on offering the best markdown experience we possibly can. Beyond these core aspects of a collaborative document editor, we intend on maintaining a really high bar when considering additions to the product. If some new feature might be cool, but detracts from the feeling of simplicity - it's probably not worth the tradeoff. We want to protect that simplicity. Simplicity also allows our small team to really focus on the core product and make it as good as it can be. Performance, live collaboration, and the writing experience are non-negotiables - we'll be continuing to invest deeply in these areas. We're looking forward to your feedback!
