Why this exists
Honestly, it started from annoyance. Needing a quick .txt file and having to right click, New, Text Document, rename, open, then finally type. That's five steps before you've written a single word. This site flips the order: you write first, and the file shows up when you're done. That's the whole idea.
How it actually works
When you hit "Download TXT," your browser builds the file itself using a web feature that's built right in (it's called the Blob API). There's no server involved, no upload bar, no waiting. The only thing saved anywhere else is a local copy in your own browser's storage, and that's just so a refresh doesn't wipe out what you were writing.
Who actually uses this
From what we can tell: developers who want a scratch file without leaving the browser tab they're already in, students taking notes on a shared or borrowed computer, and a fair number of people who just need to write something down once and don't want to think about where it's saved. If that's you, you're in the right place.
