Quick Ideas: Quick-notes

I’m often surfing the web and wish that I could copy a handful of things, paste them somewhere, or type a quick note - without leaving the browser and without signing in to a service. I’m sure there are some places that this can be done, but I most frequently find myself using Gmail and sending myself emails. Even that’s too cumbersome some times - I want speed, and Gmail can be mighty slow some days. I want to arrive on a page and have it just be an open text area, I start typing and then if I chose, I can login to save what I typed or send it to someone. It’s an extremely simple idea which is why I think it must exist. A good to alternative to having this as a website would be a firefox extension. I created a rough build of this idea (in about seven seconds) but without any of the saving or emailing features: you can click to check it out if you like. It’s literally four textareas, that’s it. What could be easier?

It’s been a busy week, I know this probably isn’t the best in this series, but I wanted to keep up my promise of keeping it weekly. Let me know what you think, or if this exists and I’ll give credit where it’s due.
