@jamesbossjb Thanks!

@patrickryanlane Hey, thanks! Text is stored only on your browser, using the Web Storage API, no where else. In simple terms the browser has its own "data-base" to store key/value pairs. Read about the concept here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en...

@syndicatefx awesome, thanks for sharing! Another question: any plans to add markdown support?

@patrickryanlane Nope, not at the moment. If i do it will only be for the download file extension(choose .txt or .md), but i'm not planning on adding syntax highlighting or previews.

@maxine_kerley_bowen Not sure what you mean by minimal margins. The margins on either side of the text are hard coded in the CSS, and get progressively smaller on smaller window sizes. But there is no way right now for a user to customize those settings.

@rufilata Thanks!

@reachrishabh I think it's more different than better, it depends on what you need to do.

@kentbrew No, no connection at all. I just found out it exists days after pushing my code on Github. Naming these things are always the hardest part!

@hanu_bar Thank you! Please enjoy.

@paulodef I'm with you, but it depends on what you're doing, or need.

@syndicatefx What are the 3 characters at the beginning of the saved file for?  EF BB FF

@geonomad Can you tell me what software you're using to open your .txt file on your computer? Those characters are explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/By... I couldn't replicate that on any editors i use, but since TextPad saves file as "text/plain;charset=utf-8", that is the reason you might be seeing those characters at the beginning of your file, based on the wiki link above.

@syndicatefx I am saving the file from Chrome/51.0.2704.103 on W10 and opening with Editpad Pro 5.4.5. You are right it is saving it as a UTF-8 stream instead of plain text. If I convert from UTF-8 to ANSI, they go away. No big deal. My editor was just expecting pure text in the file.

@zac_46 I like the idea of not having to install an extension

@paulodef @zac_46 Does it save text, on closing browser and reopening it again ?

@dhruvp2014 Yes it does!

@syndicatefx what are the main differences with Papier?

@zac_46 I have not used Papier thoroughly. But from what i could gather from a quick test, this is what i think the main differences are between TextPad and Papier(which looks/feels like a great app too, by the way). - TextPad is browser vendor independent, no extensions to install, works on all modern browsers. - Lightweight and fast, even on mobile(the whole online app is one html file weighing 22.7kb). - Also uses LocalStorage, though in a much simpler way because there is no text formatting going on. Resulting in a small footprint on storage capacity which for text purposes isn't that significant but still takes up less than Papier. - Enables you to directly download your text as a .txt file, Papier only has print option if you want to store a copy on your disk. - TextPad uses html textarea element, Papier uses a contenteditable div. Paste text into it without bringing in any formatting of the original copied text, cleaner output and less error prone. Wrapping up i think the only things TextPad really misses are the text formatting options, keyboard shortcuts and synchronization. Otherwise they are equal in features.
