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?
Oh I love electron
I’m not sure which is worse. I mean most desktop programs are just glorified web browsers anyway (i.e Electron)
What do you mean, “most?” Electron apps are the vast minority of desktop apps.
.exe? 🤮
Linux doesn’t have a standard file extension for executable files, and that wouldn’t have been good for this meme.
.elf is the closest thing we have.
You can:
./texteditor,./bin/texteditor, “texteditor binary”, “(local) texteditor program”.
I shamelessly use calculator.net instead of installing a calculator on my system lmao
I just stick a single line of HTML in the address bar and use that as a text editor. It’s just a giant test field taking up the page with a dark background and white text.
Useful if I just want to write text without any need to format it.
Is web3.0 just https://texteditor.exe?
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.
