Building a Plain Text Editor (No Installs, Runs in the Browser)
by•
Hi everyone,
I just finished the first version of a small browser based plain text editor and I’m looking for early feedback as I keep shaping it.
The original problem was simple. I often copy text that carries hidden formatting, and I wanted a quick way to clean it without using external apps. So I built a lightweight browser-based editor that strips formatting when you paste and copies the plain text back for you.
Version 1 is here: https://ptext.io
I added a few additional features like tabs, local saving, dual workspace, TTS, word counter, and a few visual themes, but I’m still figuring out what belongs and what doesn’t.
Thanks for taking a look.
