I wanted to show people what a Claude Code session actually looks like — a real debugging or build session, not a screenshot or a curated demo. The only options were screenshots or giant walls of pasted text, so I built InstaShare. The most honest demo I can give is this: here's the actual session I used to research and build the tool, shared with the tool itself: https://instashare.to/c/zGxvUs-r... That's the entire pitch in one link. You add a small skill to Claude Code, say "share this chat" from any session, and get back a short URL with a clean threaded view of the conversation — prompts, responses, and tool calls. No signup, no account, one command. A few design decisions that mattered to me: The skill is just a markdown file. No daemon, no background process, nothing running unless you explicitly invoke it. It's short enough to read end-to-end, and the entire file is printed on the homepage. (There's also a curl | bash installer, but it's behind a disclosure because you shouldn't trust it as much as reading the file yourself.) Anonymous-first. Sharing requires no account. Every upload returns a one-time delete link and an optional claim link. If you later sign in with Google, all shares created from your device — past and future — are collected under a /mine page. Secret redaction happens locally, before anything leaves your machine. The skill removes common credential formats (AWS, GitHub, Slack, Stripe, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google keys, JWTs, PEM blocks, and KEY=, TOKEN=, *_SECRET= environment variables) before upload. The patterns live in your local SKILL.md, so you can inspect and extend them. The stack is intentionally boring: Next.js, MongoDB, and a 6-character base62 slug. Your transcripts stay on your machine; only the content you explicitly choose to share gets uploaded. A caveat worth calling out: links are unguessable but public. Anyone with the URL can read the conversation, and there's currently no password protection. The local redaction pass is best-effort and won't catch every proprietary credential format, so review anything sensitive before sharing. You can delete any share at any time. One thing I'd genuinely love feedback on: Does "the skill is just a file you can read before installing" feel like a trust-building feature, or does it create too much friction?
