 ## Sharing
 
-A resource is its author's. `POST /api/my-resources/:id/shares` (by email,
-exact — accounts are never listed) and `PUT …/shares/all` extend *reading* —
-open, preview, download — to named people or to everyone signed in; the rows
-live in `user_resource_shares` and `user_resources.shared_with_all`. Every
-write route (modify, theme, delete, the share list itself) still filters on
-`user_id`. The list route returns a person's own resources first, then what is
-shared with them, each row saying `owned` and `shared_by_name`.
+A resource is its author's, and it reaches another person one way only: a
+link. `POST /api/my-resources/:id/share-link` mints a token (stored hashed,
+valid 30 days by default); `GET …/share-link/:token` says what the link is
+for; `POST …/share-link/:token/accept` adds the resource to the signed-in
+recipient's list as a reader — open, preview, download — with a row in
+`user_resource_shares`. The author sees who accepted and can withdraw any of
+them. There is no share-with-everyone and no sharing by name: nobody's
+resources appear in anyone else's list unless that person followed a link.
+Every write route (modify, theme, delete, the share list itself) still filters
+on `user_id`. The list route returns a person's own resources first, then what
