Notepad.cc - a piece of paper in the cloud

As a developer though I prefer http://gist.github.com

1. Make it visible when the text cannot be saved. Nobody wants to lose his work because of Wi-Fi glitch. In my version of notepad I implemented this with a light yellow frame around the textarea. I'm sure there's a better way to do it.

2. Imagine you could type a note into an address bar, hit Enter and have it added to your notepad. It's easy to implement, and it works really great for saving page URLs. Here's how I did it with a similar service of mine. Define a keyword search (e.g. "g hello world" - Google Search, "s hello world" - add a note), in Opera it's trivial - right-click the text area, select Create Search, and pick a keyword, I guess in other browsers it's doable too. The POST request carries the name of the page and a note to be added. It might sound simple, obvious, useless, but try it and there's a chance you'll love it.

3. List of my pages in the sidebar. Like, when I prefix my pages with "alisey." they go to the sidebar. E.g alisey.links, alisey.snippets.

Is it possible to get the files sync to dropbox? may be through dropbox api?

Time for me to get coding, then, I suppose? :)

And by the way, when I want to save things for myself, I hacked a little snippet:

my-ip/whatever-category-1/category-2/whatever i wanna save -> And it saves it. I can then access it on my-ip : )

One suggestion though, the user should be able to select their own URL if possible, and if they want to. I know it'll pose some security risks, but having a totally ridiculous address is going to make your notepad less than memorable.

If you hover to the right of the text box, a sidebar with basic formatting options appear.

I have android phone and few linux desktop. I want to be able to record notes (simple unformatted text is good) and maybe even voice recording on my phone and have them appear via widget on my desktop transparently.

There are webapp that kind of let you do something at least remotely similar (oi notes, astrid, springpad, evernote) but none of them offer a good set of API that would allow me to have a transparent client.

But what I really wanted to say: there's a link to http://www.tumblr.com/?notepad that's kind of dead (?)

Some sort of 'about' so users can find out who wrote it, and what (if any) T&Cs and privacy there are, is probably in order, at least to keep the lawyers at bay.

Out of interest, where is the data stored? Cloud?

and as an aside, would make for a great faceplate page, or at least humorous. or be able to add some code to the <head> and let it redirect to an OpenID Oauth so that the addy could be used as an openID. might need to specify admin versus guest on that (like a drop.io type setup). speaking of, is this searchable by search engines (or hidden like a drop.io)?

need to fix the multi-document feature. otherwise i like it, "share" rather than save. abstraction of the storage layer is great, i don't even want to know where it's stored, just give me access.

Some basic formatting support would be awesome too.

I went and immediately tried it on my iPad. Unfortunately, the links don't show up when I pull up the page there. (The text does autosave though.)

How long does it retain the note once you close it?
