A Notepad in the Browser: Local-First Notes That Stick
LocalStorage notepads are fast, private, and perfect for quick captures.
A browser notepad with localStorage saves instantly, works offline, and never touches your server. This protects privacy and keeps hosting costs near zero. Add autosave, timestamps, and export to .txt for portability. Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd+S for export, Ctrl/Cmd+B for bold via Markdown) create a feeling of power.
Explain data limits (around 5–10MB per origin), and provide a ‘backup now’ button. A help section improves trust: where notes live, how to clear them, and best practices for sensitive content.
