The Features - Just saves to your browser's localstorage (no cloud or login) - Export to TXT file - Formatting keyboard shortcuts - Works offline - Super fast The Tech - Single HTML file - 20 lines of JS + service worker (for offline usage) - Using pure CSS for modals - Github pages hosting - Basically it's just a "contenteditable div" with some extra features - Source -> https://github.com/benwinding/localnotes.page It's been done before, but I couldn't find a version I liked, that worked offline…

    I'm building an online text-editor editor to write and save scientific documents fast. Here's a video of how it works: https://youtu.be/Hyk8CvCdEWE As an engineering student, I hated that handwriting was the only viable way to do fast or impromptu scientific writing. It would be the only way to take quick notes in class or in a lab, write an assignment, or create a presentation.
