<h2 style="margin-bottom: 1rem;">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
<h4 style="margin-bottom: 5px;">Can the server operator or host see my private notes?</h4>
<p style="color: #555;">No. Private notes are encrypted client-side in your browser using the Web Crypto API
before being transmitted. The server only stores ciphertext.</p>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
<h4 style="margin-bottom: 5px;">Where can I find the source code or self-host SpotNotes?</h4>
<p style="color: #555;">SpotNotes is 100% open source. You can explore the codebase, review the
cryptography, or clone the repository to run your own server at <a
href="https://forgejo.benjimanmiller.com/ben/spotnotes.app" target="_blank"

<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
<h4 style="margin-bottom: 5px;">How does sharing private notepads work?</h4>
<p style="color: #555;">When you add a collaborator, your browser encrypts the notepad key using the
collaborator's public key. Only their private key can unlock it.</p>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
<h4 style="margin-bottom: 5px;">Do I need an account to view public notes?</h4>
<p style="color: #555;">No, you can explore public notes and global feeds without an account. Registration
is required to create and save private encrypted notes.</p>
