Scratch

A minimal scratchpad. Type anything — the text is encoded into the URL so you can bookmark or share it as a permalink.

Usage

  1. Type or paste text into the textarea
  2. The URL updates automatically with your text encoded as a query parameter
  3. Click Copy to copy the permalink to your clipboard
  4. Bookmark or share the URL — opening it will restore your text exactly

Notes

  • All processing happens client-side; nothing is sent to a server
  • The ?text= parameter is compressed with lz-string (compressToEncodedURIComponent) — significantly shorter than percent-encoding for code, JSON, and repetitive text
  • Click Reset to clear the text and return to a blank scratchpad
