This discussion is about v0.5.0-beta.0. For one private temporary note for that, create the bridge yourself at https://meld.mergeinc.workers.dev. Say what it is for and what it is not for, and send the URL privately. It stays open 36 hours until the first reply. Each later reply resets 24 hours. The conversation stays on that same link. It is free, and there is no billing. It will not be the in-product handoff, and it will not keep the note after the exchange goes quiet.
