Jakob, you did a great job. A couple of suggestions.
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.
- mitjak 16y agoNote through URL idea is superb. Clearly you've lures me over to your service, so what's the URL?

- xom 16y agoIn fact, for a high-latency connection like mine, it'd be nice to have one color to mean "trying to save" and another meaning "failed to save". Or maybe copy Gmail's "server request pending, are you sure you want to navigate away?" pop-up.
