a note on this notepad ────────────────────── you can type in here. go ahead: fix a typo, rewrite a sentence, delete the whole thing. it's a real text field, so type anywhere. but none of it saves. reload the page and the words snap back to whatever i last wrote. the writing on this site is always in flux: i keep changing the canonical version, and your edits live only as long as this tab stays open. that's the point. a piece of writing is never really finished; it's just abandoned at the moment you stop touching it. so this lets you touch it without consequence, and lets me keep changing my mind in public. if you want to keep something you typed, copy it out before you go. the only version that persists is mine, and even that one moves. -- aadharsh
