This link arrived cut short. Something along the way — usually a mail
or chat app — shortened it, so only the beginning of the note is here.
Below is everything that survived. Ask whoever sent it for the note as a
Markdown file, which has no length limit.
This note travelled inside the link you opened. It was never uploaded anywhere, and nothing in this browser has changed unless you save it.
Formatting guide
Type the shorthand, then space or Enter. It works
anywhere in a line, including the first line of an empty note.
[!note]Note — neutral aside[!tip]Tip — helpful advice[!important]Important — don't miss this[!warning]Warning — proceed carefully[!caution]Caution — risk of harm
Type the marker on its own line and press Enter — a leading >
is optional, so [!warning] alone is enough. Inside a callout, > + space
nests another one (3 deep). Press Enter on an empty last line to step out, or
Ctrl+Enter from anywhere. The toolbar's callout button does the same and shows which
type you are in.

Any URL you type or paste becomes a link. Trailing ), ,
and . stay outside it.
Insert a table from the toolbar, then edit it in place.
Tab and Shift+Tab indent and outdent list items. Pasted or imported Markdown
tables and nested lists come through intact.
Paste one in, or use the picture button.
Then click the picture: the corner handles drag it bigger and smaller, and the bar
says where it sits — Inline in the run of your words, Left, Center or
Right on a line of its own, or Wrap off to one side with the text flowing
round it. Delete removes the selected one, but only while the picture itself is
selected — once the caret is back in your words, Backspace deletes letters again, and a
bright mark down one side of the picture shows which side the caret is on. Shrink a
picture under about a third of the line and it moves into the run of your words by
itself, so a thumbnail never ends up stranded at the far edge of a wide page; pick a
placement from the bar and it stays exactly where you put it from then on. Size and
placement survive the trip out to Markdown and back.
The Share button on the top bar makes a
read-only link with the whole note packed inside it — words, formatting and pictures
alike. Nothing is uploaded and typewell.net never sees it. The other side of that: the
link is the note, so anyone holding it can read it, you cannot take it back, and
later edits need a new link. Pictures are re-encoded smaller for the trip, which keeps
most notes inside a length that mail and chat apps will carry; your own copies are not
touched.
Google signs a browser out after about an hour,
and no app without a server of its own can renew that quietly — so Typewell does not
try, and no Google window ever opens by itself. When the hour runs out, a
background backup simply waits. Your notes were already saved here; the corner reads
Waiting to back up with a Sign in button, and pressing it sends up
everything that piled up at once. Ctrl+S and Back up now also sign you
back in, because you asked them to.
In Settings, under Page width: pick
Narrow, Normal or Wide, choose Full width to use the whole window however wide you
drag it, or type an exact number of pixels. It applies to every note and is remembered.
Everything above survives a round trip through Markdown,
including callouts, nested lists, highlights and embedded images. Two things do not:
table column alignment (|:--|--:|) and <https://…> autolinks,
which come back as ordinary links.
A single HTML file — no build step, no server, no tracking. Your notes stay in this
browser unless you back them up: Drive gets a Typewell folder of
plain .md files you can open in any editor, and the optional gist keeps one
exact .json copy.
How wide the writing area is. Full width uses the whole window,
however wide you drag it. Very long lines are harder to read, which is where the
presets stop — but the box above takes any width you like.
Google Drive checking…
Notes always live in this browser first. Drive gets a Typewell folder
holding one .md file per note — plain markdown you can read, edit or move with
anything. Scope is drive.file: Typewell sees only the files it created,
nothing else in your Drive — which also means a file you add to that folder by
hand stays invisible to it. Use Import for those. Deleting a note here moves the
file to Drive's trash, which Google empties after 30 days; Typewell's own trash keeps it
until you purge it. If a note is deleted on one side and edited on the other, the edit
wins and the note comes back.
GitHub Gist optional second source
A single typewell-backup.json in a secret gist —
an exact copy, unlike the markdown in Drive. Token needs only the
gist scope.
Stored in this browser only.
