plaintext.gg
just a plain text editor .. plaintext.gg
I just needed a plain text editor for simple notes, stripping formatting, and the occasional writing while screensharing. but apple notes, word, and google docs keep adding features that mess with your text. even the fan-favorite windows notepad now has copilot. So I built one myself! Feel free to use it: no account, no tracking, and your text is saved locally in your browser's IndexedDB. it even installs as a PWA. or you can self-host if you'd prefer. Give it a try
You've heard of spite-driven development? Well, this is frustration-driven development. I got a little fed up with every tool cramming in unnecessary AI features, so I built this out of sheer frustration 😅😂
It really is what you see is what you get .. nothing fancy, no plethora of features.
Let me know what you think!
- Any bugs I should fix?
- Any improvements you'd suggest?
- And what do you think about frustration-driven development?
