That is so cool :). I just slapped together a (really) simple chrome ext for opening up a new tab in "contenteditable" mode. It saves the contents into localStorage, thats it for now :) Here it is if anyones interested https://github.com/jwaterfaucett/textpad

Made it a chrome extension for an easier install.

I forked your code, added support so you can do (C-N) to open a new tab, click tab and start typing (the cursor will be at the end of the line), polished it up a bit (changed font to consolas, added a grey background with a tint of white text-shadow). I've sent a pull request.

They are loaded when you re-open the extension by the looks of it.

Doesn't work for me - seems I am doing something wrong. I open a tab, write something, close the tab. I open a fresh tab - no text. I'd expect that the written text would show up.

this is cool, just wondering is there an easy way to export the text ? save as and then renaming to .txt doesnt seem to grab the text, just the html.

Can anybody please give me quick install instructions? There is no readme and I'm unfamiliar with how to add a Chrome extension based on a Github repo.

In Chrome: 1. Tools -> Extensions 2. Enable "Developer Mode" 3. "Load Unpacked Extension" and select the directory you cloned into.
