Up until now, groups had been the only way to do this, although groups are optional and it is easy to forget to add a note to a group. So today we are launching a new feature that should improve visibility and collaboration with people in your organisation by allowing you to see the notes and actitvity feeds of everyone on the same subscription automatically

Password Hints

Password hints allow you to include a question, phrase or hint with the notification email that you send to your users that can help them access the note without the need for you to send a second email or message containing the note password. This allows you to create a note, email the user and provide them with information to access the note in a single step when creating a new note.

Shortened URL's

We have recently purchased the domain "shred.io" and are now using it for URL shortening. You should notice that any new notes will include a new shorter style of link which looks like shred.io/a6fc6257

The new links will redirect to the root "noteshred.com" domain.
