Show HN: Copyto.me – I made a better way of copying things to yourself
copyto.meI built an app to copy things to yourself and retrieve them using a simple mnemonic.
*How it works:*
- Paste anything → Get a mnemonic (e.g., "cake").
- Use the mnemonic later to retrieve your content on another device.
- No logins, no setup.
*Why not use [Pastebin](https://pastebin.com/)?*
> Pastebin is a great service but it doesn't offer really short mnemonics to easily retrieve your content. Also, copyto.me can preserve your formatting.
*Is this a rip-off of [magic-wormhole](https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole) / [webwormhole.io](https://copyto.me/webwormhole.io) / [wormhole.app](https://copyto.me/wormhole.app) / [instant.io](https://copyto.me/instant.io)?*
> This tool is optimized for convenience, so certain tradeoffs are made at the cost of privacy.
Example advantages vs wormholes:
1. The mnemonics are shorter.
2. Both devices do not be connected to the tool at the same time.
3. Rich text is preserved.
Disadvantages:
1. The mnemonics are guessable.
2. File transfers aren't supported (yet?)
