Share a page

Public read-only links, with a plain text version for AIs and programs.

The Share button at the top of the page creates a link to it. Whoever opens the link sees only that page, in reading mode, without needing an account.

Options

  • Expiry: 1 day, 7 days, 30 days or never.
  • Live: the link follows your changes a few seconds later. When off, the link shows the page as it was when you published, and you update it whenever you want.
  • Take down: the link stops working right away.

All published links are in Settings → Published links.

Plain text for AIs and programs

Every link has two versions without styling, good for pasting into an AI or reading from a program:

AddressWhat it returns
https://wire.ia.br/s/codeThe page for people
https://wire.ia.br/s/code.mdJust the Markdown
https://wire.ia.br/s/code.jsonTitle, plain text, Markdown, blocks, language and update date

The share window has buttons to copy each version.

The page keeps the language it was written in. What's around it (top bar, date, footer) shows up in the language of whoever visits.

What can't be shared

  • Password-protected pages. Remove the password first if you really want to publish.
  • Illegal content, spam or other people's personal data. Links like that are taken down and the account is banned. See the terms.

What stays on the server

The text of a shared page is stored on the Paper server, without encryption, while the link exists. That's the price of anyone being able to open it. When you take it down or it expires, the copy is deleted.

Links don't show up on Google or other search engines.
