Questions
- Do I need an account?
- To publish, yes — a free account. To read, no: anyone with the link opens the page. Paste your Markdown or HTML, or drop a file, and you get an ilolink.com/<slug> link to share. You keep a private dashboard link for that doc.
- Is it free?
- Publishing is free for one person, up to 3 published documents. Inviting teammates takes a paid plan: a one-time $9 for 5 people or $19 for 10, paid once and kept forever.
- Do you use cookies or track readers?
- No cookies. Analytics are cookieless, built on a rotating visitor hash with no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking, and no per-person profile. Unique counts are approximate by design and aggregate only.
- What can I publish?
- Markdown, HTML, images, and files. Slide decks (pptx), audio, and video hosting are not supported yet.
- How big can a doc be?
- Up to 15 MB per doc.
- Do links expire?
- Not by default. Expiry is opt-in, so you set it only if you want the link to stop working after a date.
- Can I password-protect a doc?
- Yes. Visibility options are public, unlisted, private (teamspace members only), password-protected, and expiring.
- Can I edit a doc after publishing?
- Docs are immutable. To change one, publish a new doc and share the new link. There's no version rollback or edit history yet.
- Is pasted AI HTML safe to publish?
- Yes. By default we sanitize it on ingest: scripts and JavaScript are dropped, interactive JS is frozen to static, CSS is kept, and forms are made inert. Every doc is served on an isolated view.ilolink.com origin under a strict CSP with default-src 'none'. If you deliberately mark an HTML doc trusted at publish time, it runs as-is inside a sandboxed frame on that same isolated origin.
- Will an interactive app or widget run on my page?
- Not by default. Interactive JavaScript is frozen to static, so buttons, calculators, and app logic won't run, while layout, styling, and content render exactly as designed. But if you mark the HTML doc trusted at publish time, its scripts run as-is inside a sandboxed frame on the isolated origin.
- Who can see my analytics?
- Only you, through the private dashboard link for that doc. Readers see the page, not the numbers.
- Can readers comment or react?
- Yes, and without an account. Readers can leave reactions, short notes, and threaded comments anchored to the page.
