Show HN: Smort.io – Edit, annotate and share articles easily

Hey HN, I created Smort as I wanted to highlight an article and share it with a friend but couldn't find an easy way of doing it.

Smort lets you easily edit, annotate and share an article. To read any article, just prepend smort.io/ before a URL in a browser. (I recently found out that even 12ft.io/ uses the same technique). Smort is free to use and shareable links are valid for 7 days from creation. Permanent links will be supported soon.

I'm primarily a backend/ML engineer so had to learn all things frontend to build Smort. I started out developing in SvelteKit and loved it but later migrated to React & Nextjs due to better third party library support. I have lots of ideas on how to take Smort forward and would love for you all to use it. Please join our Discord to share your curated articles and feedback!

This is a walkthrough article detailing everything Smort can do at the moment - https://smort.io/demo-walkthrough.

Smort's name was inspired by the memes [1]
