Web 2.0 or: “Instead of loading all code from the same URL the website now needs a dozen of different scripts from a dozen of different URLs, gives a shit about CSP and only shows a blank page when JS and/or cookies are disabled.”

Don't worry, texteditor.com is also available as an app on Windows, macOS and Linux thanks to Electron.

It only needs 300 megabytes and you can style it with CSS.

It also only takes a single gigabyte of RAM per file being edited, Isn't that fantastic?

I'm not sure which is worse. I mean most desktop programs are just glorified web browsers anyway (i.e Electron)

[–] grue@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

What do you mean, "most?" Electron apps are the vast minority of desktop apps.

I shamelessly use calculator.net instead of installing a calculator on my system lmao

Bruh, I actually prefer the "Web 2.0" solution. That way the god damn editor can't just start accessing all the shit on my drive.

Lol but included in the source for www.texteditor.com is analytics, beacons, etc from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Cloudfare, and a bajillion different ad networks that send the content of your text file to AI models.
