Secret Note Sharing Application

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

Requirements:

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

Note Retrieval:

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

Security Features:

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

Backend:

• Swagger docs for the API
• Develop a restful API using Go
• Use a database (e.g., sqlite or postgresql) for storing the notes

Frontend:

• Create a simple, responsive UI using Vue

Authentication:

• Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse

Testing:

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

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
