Lightweight Collaboration Without Accounts

Lightweight Collaboration Without Accounts

Account creation is friction. For many transient collaboration tasks, FragBin provides just enough structure without identity overhead.

1. The Edit Key Model

An edit key is a scoped capability token. Possession → permission. No profile, no password reset flow.

2. Coordination Patterns

Scenario	Flow
Pair debugging	Share paste, co-edit with key
Design spike notes	Iterate quickly, finalize elsewhere
Temporary FAQ	Collect questions then migrate

3. Security Considerations

Treat edit keys like secrets. Rotate by cloning content into a new paste if leaked.

4. Benefits vs Accounts

Aspect	Edit Key	Accounts
Setup speed	Instant	Slower
Access revocation	Replace link	Central controls
Identity tracking	Minimal	Full

5. When Accounts Are Needed

Persistent authorship, fine-grained permissions, audit trails. Those are separate product phases.

Lean collaboration primitives keep the focus on content velocity. FragBin embraces _capability over complexity*.
