  I looked it up, and Blazing Saddles did that amazing overly-long absurdist cutaway gag before Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane was 1 year old. Happy 100th Mel Brooks

Is there something: - shareable/editable without a login (private link) - non-big tech - civilian-friendly - mobile compatible Yes I do want recommendations, if NextCloud can so this, that would be just fine, I am probably not going to self-host for this.
