This is a simple "secret notepad" powered by the WP REST API, using server-to-server communication and private WordPress posts to store content. Each note has a 10-character ID, and there is no index functionality.

Inspired by the once-glorious, now-defunct notepad.cc.

This is an example of a WP REST API application that can communicate with either a self-hosted WordPress site or a WordPress.com site.

Install PHP on your server and clone this repo.

Have a WordPress (self-hosted or WordPress.com) site handy that's running the latest version of the WP REST API.

For self-hosted WordPress, WP 4.7 beta 2 and higher will definitely work; others may or may not work. You'll need to install the Application Passwords plugin and generate a basic authentication header for the config file.

For WordPress.com, generate an authentication token following the auth documentation.

Copy sample-config.php to config.php and fill in the values there for your site.

The provided .htaccess file works with Apache mod_rewrite - nginx configuration is up to you for the time being.

I have intentionally kept this app very simple. However, there are a few enhancements for which I would definitely welcome PRs:

• OAuth1 support for self-hosted sites.
• Configuration instructions/files for nginx.
