Notes Browser tool

URL Notepad

URL Notepad is like a tiny Pastebin without a backend. The text is compressed and stored directly in the URL hash, so sharing the link shares the note.

How It Works

The app compresses typed text with lz-string, writes it into the part of the URL after #, and updates the address whenever the text changes. Opening the link decompresses the text and restores it in the editor.

Limits

URL length still depends on browser limits, so this is for short notes rather than documents. For that narrow use case, it is pleasantly direct.

Try URL Notepad.
