I created a simple notepad for personal use. It's a textbox that syncs to my server. I have a bookmark to it on my Kindle as well as a notepad widget on the new tab page of Chrome. It can also be accessed from my phone (any device with a browser, really).
When I'm on my computer, it's there every time I open my browser. Anywhere else, It's just a few clicks away.
That seems to be enough for me as I rarely need to sync files, and when I do, I have dropbox.
Edit: Also thought I should mention that before I created my own solution, I used Simplenote (http://simplenoteapp.com/ http://simplenoteapp.com/) for the webapp and iOS app. Since then they've added an API and have a few other apps I think.
- tealtan 15y agoSay more about this, please? Is it a single text box?
- sachleen 15y agoSure, here's the source: https://gist.github.com/1609919 https://gist.github.com/1609919 Also requires jQuery. I access it like this: http://domain.com/notepad?key=yoursecret http://domain.com/notepad?key=yoursecret The JS checks to see if the contents of the textbox has changed, and if it has, it makes a POST request via AJAX to the server that saves it to a text file.
- hardik988 15y agoThanks so much for that! I also added in a Ctrl+S capture because I have an irritating habit of pressing it! Kudos!
- sachleen 15y agoMind sharing your code for that? I think I tried implementing that originally but I could never get it to work.
- hardik988 15y agoI just used the shortcut.js library.. You can find it here : http://www.openjs.com/scripts/events/keyboard_shortcuts/ http://www.openjs.com/scripts/events/keyboard_shortcuts/
