Secret Note Sharing Application

Create a web application that allows users to securely share self-destructing secret notes.

Requirements:

1. Note Creation:

   • Users can create a note with text content
   • Generate a unique, secure URL for each note
   • Set an expiration time or number of views before destruction

2. Note Retrieval:

   • Users can view a note using the unique URL
   • After viewing or upon expiration, the note is permanently deleted

3. Security Features:

   • Use secure random generation for URLs (i should be able to browse /note/1, /note/2, .. etc the urls shouldn't be predictable

4,5: Technology Stack

• Django

6. Authentication:

   • Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse

7. Testing:

   • Write unit and integration tests for the backend
   • Implement end-to-end tests for critical user flows

8. Deployment:

   • Containerize the application using Docker
   • Create a docker-compose file for easy local deployment

Optional

• Encrypting the notes in the database

Acceptance Criteria:

• Notes can be securely created, shared, and destroyed
• Docker deployment works as expected
