Yeah, the issue here is that the URL is not the app. This is basically a differently-shaped https://github.com/antonmedv/textarea Cool idea, but agree that fixing actual mistakes in the title is a worthwhile use of time.

textarea.my

A minimalist text editor that lives entirely in your browser and stores everything in the URL hash.

Screenshot of textarea.my

Features

  • 🗜️ Compression – Your text gets compressed with deflate
  • 🔗 URL hash – Share your notes by copying a URL
  • 💕 Style – Customize the look with CSS via DevTools

Pro tips

  • Start your document with # Title to set a custom page title
  • Add a style attribute to the <article> tag via DevTools. It'll be saved in the URL too!

Examples

  • numbr.dev – my another website, same as textarea, only support calculations like 1 USD in EUR =.
