Minimalist Editor That Lives in the Browser and Stores Everything in the URL

🔗 A Text Editor That Saves Everything in the URL

textarea.my is a minimalist editor with no server, no database, no account needed. Everything you type is compressed with deflate and stored directly in the URL hash.

✨ Key features:

• 🗜️ Auto compression — Text is compressed before encoding into the URL, allowing reasonably-sized notes
• 🔗 Everything in the URL — No backend. The document is the URL. To share: share the URL.
• 💾 localStorage backup — Data is also saved locally in the browser as a fallback
• 🎨 Customizable CSS — Modify styles via DevTools and it persists in the URL
• 📱 QR code — Add /qr to the URL to generate a QR code for mobile sharing
• 🔢 numbr.dev — Sister tool for numerical calculations in the URL

💡 Tip: Start the document with # Title to set the browser tab title.

💡 Quick explanation

Normally, web app data is stored in a database on a server. This editor does something clever: it uses the URL text itself to store compressed information. No server needed. The URL is your document!
