The archive
"Never dies" should not depend on us staying in business. Every live note is published as an open file anyone can download, and a copy is kept by the Internet Archive, outside our servers.
Download the wall
- notes.jsonl: every live note, rewritten every night.
- manifest.json: the date, the number of notes and the file's SHA-256 hash.
- Each night's file is also kept under its date, for example
notes-2026-09-23.jsonl. - Internet Archive copy: a snapshot every week.
What's in it
One note per line, as JSON: its number, text, signature, link, paper color, style, any extra text pieces, and when it went live. That's everything needed to draw the note again. Hidden notes and anything private (emails, payments) are never in the archive.
