Stashpad

Stashpad Docs is live today! It's a minimal Google Docs alternative with markdown support and no account required. 🚀 Try it out by typing stash.new in your browser.

Hi friends, we're writing to share the difficult news that Stashpad is winding down. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Until next time 💛 stashpad.com/winding-down

@sheth Hey, thanks for sharing. Can you try hitting a space after the first link?

@stashpadapp Tried it out - is this a bug - shows the entire link in the backlink

Backlinks are here! This is the first step to more organizing power. We never want you to get distracted by organizing in Stashpad. As we add more organizing capabilites, we're looking for ways to help you stay organized enough. No heaviness. No over-organizing.

Markdown is a simple syntax for formatting text as you write without leaving your keyboard. And it's not just for developers. Anyone who writes a lot can benefit from the speed of Markdown. Want to learn Markdown? Check out our Tiny Markdown Course: stashpad.com/tiny-markdown-…

Tables are live! Tables are one of the most commonly requested (and most complex 😮‍💨) features within docs. We're excited to share that tables are now live in Stashpad Docs! Try out tables by hitting the table icon on the right side of the formatting toolbar.

@kylemetalcomedy Heard, yes mobile >> desktop in our priorities. Not a stupid question - this is something we've considered. No time limit!

@kylemetalcomedy Glad to hear you like it! We're planning to stay in the browser for now - would you be looking more for a mobile app or desktop app?

You can now enable spell check to clean up your notes before sharing. But disabled spell check is a feature, not a bug. Don't let spell check and auto-complete create distractions while you're writing. Let ideas flow. Spell check later.

Stashpad now supports Suggest Changes. 🖋 Suggest makes it easy for collaborators to apply feedback quickly. Try it out 👉

Our homepage was temporarily down this morning. This did not impact the Docs or Lists products. Sorry to all newcomers who missed us - the landing page is back!

@1619Reformed Very interesting idea! 👀

@stashpadapp Great! Just wondering and a possible suggestion feature. Let an anonymous user (whoever) duplicate the text and make it as their own (with own url) for their free editing.

@BearNotesApp hi team. Did you all recommend another website for online notes.. an online notepad of sorts.. what website was it?

@BearNotesApp @1619Reformed Here are the instructions for setting up the integration 😎 stashpad.com/blog/bear-stas…

@1619Reformed Hey! We did an integration with @stashpadapp which is an online collaboration note app. Is this the one you are looking for? Here's the website: stashpad.com/blog/bear-stas…

"I'll do my real work later this evening" isn't a sign of dedication. It's a sign that your team is busy, but with the wrong things. When priorities are unclear, your team can get overwhelmed by context switching and feel the need to "catch up" later. Last week, I had the pleasure of joining a panel on Context Switching hosted by @TheLeadDev and @incident_io These were some of the key takeaways: 1) As a senior IC or manager, lead by example to demonstrate how to set boundaries at work with things like response time in slack and when you take meetings. 2) Prioritize knowledge sharing on your team, especially when it comes to topics that are likely to come up in on-call. Reward collaboration over independent projects in promotions. Run chaos days and have devs less familiar with the infra code make changes there. 3) Set expectations around on-call so that the team knows that when they're on-call, there aren't expectations of doing a whole lot else. Being on-call lets the rest of the team focus and enables you to offer the best customer experience.

A meeting agenda makes meetings more productive and collaborative. Here’s our guide on how to do them right. stashpad.com/blog/meeting-a…

Comments are a key part of how we collaborate at work but Comments Etiquette doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves. Enjoyed doing this deep dive on comments etiquette with @TheLeadDev leaddev.com/process/commen…

@__p_i_o_t_r__ Heard. We'll look into adding the ability to disable these where they don't work well. Thanks for sharing your experience!

@stashpadapp I just found another one: opt+n to add a new doc, instead of "ń". Seriously...

Excited to share our new Obsidian plugin for Stashpad! You can now create docs directly from Obsidian via the command palette or share menu. stashpad.com/blog/obsidian-…

@andybarkerstl 👀

@stashpadapp you need a delete document feature. or if you have it already I can't find it.

Love markdown but your co-workers don't know what Markdown is? Write together in Stashpad. 😎
